2 carrots, sliced into thin rounds 200 g
2 stalks celery, sliced into small pieces 140 g
1 tbsp olive oil 15 mL
1 pinch salt [optional] 0.2 g
ground pepper to taste [optional]
2 cups Homemade Boiled Chicken
2 tbsp butter, unsalted 28 g

1 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, grated 120 g

Before you start

Make sure you have the precooked chicken available.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: Finely chop the onion; peel the carrots then slice them into thin rounds; slice the celery into small pieces.
  3. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, then sauté 5-6 min until they are a bit softened. Add salt and pepper, then stir in the chicken pieces. Cook 3-4 min until the mixture is warmed through, then transfer it to a baking dish.
  4. While the onions and carrots are cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook 2 min with stirring. Slowly add the broth with stirring and bring to a boil. Cook a few minutes until a thicker consistency is obtained, then pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture.
  5. Peel the sweet potatoes and grate them using a large holed grater. Put them in a bowl, add the grated cheese and mix, then spread the mixture on top of the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 30 min. For a nice golden-brown crust, turn on the top broiler for the last 2 min. Serve.

This was spectacular. The combination of grated cheese and grated sweet potato was delicious. Will make this again.

The recipe turned out exactly as prescribed however the combination of sweet potato and cheddar was simply not to our personal taste.
