Instructions
a) Boil a full kettle.
b) While it boils, chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel first if you prefer).
c) Pour the boiling water into a large saucepan with 0.5 tsp salt.
d) Add the potatoes to the water and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins.
a) Meanwhile, trim the root and dark green leafy part from the leek and discard. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice.

b) Once hot, add the diced chicken, sliced mushrooms and leek to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

b) Add the garlic to the chicken and veg for the final min of cooking and stir-fry until fragrant.
c) Pour in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and bring to a boil. Stir in the red wine jus paste, then reduce the heat to medium-high. TIP: If your red wine jus paste has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.

b) Simmer, stirring regularly, until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through, 7-8 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
a) Meanwhile, 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.
b) Season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid to keep warm.
c) When the sauce has thickened, stir in the butter (see pantry for amount) until melted.
