Spanish Chicken Pie

I cooked this tonight with leftover roast chicken, and it was a huge success! I halved the amounts as I was cooking just for the kids.
  • 1 kg potatoes, cut into quarters
  • 150g light cream cheese like Philadelphia Extra Light
  • 300g cooked chicken, shredded into pieces
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 1 garlic clove, finely diced
  • 2 x 400g tin tomatoes
  • Jar roasted vegetables, chopped into bite size pieces
  • 1tsp smoked paprika
Method
  1. Heat the oven to 180. Boil the potatoes for 15 mins until tender. While they’re cooking, heat a drizzle of oil from the roast veg jar in a frying pan, add the onion and fry gently for 5 mins then add the garlic and cook for a further 2 mins and tip in the tomatoes and paprika, stir well and bring to a simmer.
  2. Once the potatoes are cooked drain them, add the cream cheese and mash together. Pour the tomatoes, chicken and vegetables into a large oven dish and mix.
  3. Top the chicken mixture with the potato and ruff up the top slightly with a fork. Cook for 20 mins till piping hot all the way through.
