Coq au Vin Style Chicken and Bacon Pie

with Cheesy Mashed Potato and Green Beans

A British favourite, cottage pie is most recognisable as a deeply savoury layer of lamb filling topped with mash. We're giving it a twist in the style of coq au vin with chicken and bacon, as well as adding cheese to the mash for extra indulgence. Best enjoyed after grilling until golden and scrumptious!

Instructions

Get Prepped
1

Put a large saucepan of water with 1/4 tsp salt on to boil for the potatoes.

Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel first if you prefer). Trim the carrot (no need to peel), then coarsely grate.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 

Fry the Chicken and Bacon
2

When your pan of water is boiling, add the potatoes and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins.

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the diced chicken, bacon lardons and grated carrot to the pan and season with salt and pepper.

Cook until browned all over, 5-6 mins. Turn occasionally. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat and its packaging. Cook bacon thoroughly.

Cook the Sauce
3

Once the meat has browned, add the garlic and cook for 1 min more.

Stir in the passata, red wine stock paste, dried oregano, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).

Bring to the boil, then lower the heat to medium and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Make the Mash
4

Meanwhile, preheat your grill to high. Trim the green beans. 

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pan, off the heat.

Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk (if you have any) and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Time to Grill
5

Pour the pie filling into an appropriately sized ovenproof dish. Spread the mash over the top in an even layer, using the back of a spoon to smooth it out.

Sprinkle over the cheese, then place the pie under your grill until bubbling and golden, 5-6 mins.

Once cooked, remove from your oven and leave to stand for a couple of mins.

Finish and Serve
6

While the pie grills, wipe out the (now empty) frying pan and pop on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

Once hot, add the green beans and stir-fry until starting to char, 2-3 mins. Add a splash of water, then immediately cover with a lid or some foil.

Cook until the beans are tender, 4-5 mins. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.

Share the chicken and bacon pie between your plates. Serve the green beans alongside.

Enjoy!
