Creamed Chicken Potatoes For Babies Recipes

Steps:

• Potatoes -- I always bake mine ahead, cut in half and just heat up in the microwave before serving.
• Bechemel -- In a small sauce pan, add the butter and bring to medium heat. Melt the butter and then whisk in the flour. Mix well to combine and cook a couple of minutes to loose the flour taste. Slowly whisk in the milk or cream and and bring up to a low boil until thickened. You can set this off to the side.
• Vegetables -- In a large sauce pan, add the olive oil and bring to medium / medium high heat. Add the celery, onion and red pepper and cook 2-3 minutes, then add in the mushrooms and cook another 5 minutes under the vegetables are tender.
• Chicken -- Now, I cook my chicken ahead or I use leftover chicken, so please make the chicken anyway you want. I usually oven roast a couple of bone in breasts, seasoned with just olive oil, salt and pepper, 375 for 40-45 minutes (depending on the size).
• Reduce the heat to medium low, add in the chicken, peas and bechemel sauce and cook until everything is heated through. Taste for seasoning (salt and pepper) and add the parsley. If the sauce is a bit thick, add a little more cream or milk. I like a nice thick sauce, but it is up to you.
• Potato -- Since I make mine ahead, just microwave for a minute to heat up. If you just baked them, follow the directions below.
• Serve -- Take the potato, slice it in half and lightly use a fork and break up the inside of the potato, don't take any out, just mix it up a bit.
• Then top with a few spoons of the chicken over the potato. Top with the cheese and enjoy. You can also put under the broiler, microwave or oven for just a few minutes to melt the cheese. It is just a garnish. And the heat of the sauce will melt the cheese all on it's own. Serve with a fresh salad for a nice easy CLASSIC dish.
• Note: Baked Potato Time is not included in Prep Time.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the chicken in oil until no longer pink. Stir in the soup, water, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in sour cream. Serve over toasted English muffins. Sprinkle with cayenne or paprika.

Steps:

• Melt butter in small heavy pan over low heat. Stir in flour and blend well. Add milk and stir until smooth.

• Add cheese and stir until melted.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Halve any large potatoes so they're all roughly the same size. Put in a pan of water, bring to the boil and simmer for 8-10 mins until tender. Drain.
• Tip the potatoes into a large roasting tray to sit in one snug layer. Drizzle with 1 tbsp oil, season and add the lemon zest, garlic, thyme and bay. Toss to coat the potatoes. Use a potato masher to gently crack each potato, being careful not to break them up too much. Place the chicken on top, rub with the rest of the oil and the paprika, then season. Roast for 45 mins until golden brown and cooked through.
• Meanwhile, make the creamed spinach. Boil the kettle and tip the spinach into a colander. Pour over the boiling water to wilt the leaves. Leave to cool.
• Heat the butter in a pan. Add the onion and cook for 8-10 mins until softened. Stir through the garlic for another minute, then the flour for another minute. Pour in the milk, a little at a time, stirring and adding more until you have a smooth sauce. Bring to a simmer and stir continuously until the sauce has thickened.
• Squeeze any liquid out of the spinach, then roughly chop. Add to the sauce along with the nutmeg. Season to taste. Transfer to a baking dish, top with the cheese, and bake for 15 mins until golden.
• Cover the chicken and rest for 5 mins. Set aside 2 legs to cool before chilling for lunch tomorrow. Serve the rest (1 full leg each per adult, a drumstick or thigh each for the children) with the potatoes and spinach alongside some carrots.
