Method

  • step 1

    Heat grill to medium. Spread the chicken out evenly in a shallow baking dish. Dot with half the butter and grill for 7-10 mins, turning occasionally until cooked through. Meanwhile, put the vegetables in a bowl and pour a kettle of boiling water over them. Leave for 2-3 mins, then drain.

  • step 2

    Scatter the veg and ham over the chicken, dollop on the crème fraîche and season to taste. Sprinkle on the breadcrumbs, dot with remaining butter, then slide under the grill for 5 mins more until heated through and the topping is crisp.

RECIPE TIPS
MAKE IT WITH POTATO, IN PORTIONS OR WITH FISH

To make it with potato top with a pack of ready-made mash and grill until heated through and crisp on top. Or to make it in portions, use small gratin dishes for single servings. And to use fish, grill 4 fish fillets and a handful of raw prawns until cooked through, then follow from step 2, leaving out the ham.

Made this last night taking note of previous comments and adding a little gravy. I only added a tiny bit but it went quite watery so I think it needs a bit of experimenting to get spot on but it was really quick, easy and tasty and I would definitely make it again!

I cooked this using the alternative method of using instant mash over the layer of creme fraiche and I topped it off with a generous sprinkle of parmesan and a little cracked pepper (think cottage pie topping). This has never dried out, so I guess the mash keeps the moisture in more than the…
