Ingredients for Creamy Chicken and Potato Pie:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 60 grams butter
• 1 large brown onion, halved and thinly sliced
• 200 grams sliced beef bacon, chopped
• 500 grams chicken breast fillet, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 300 ml cooking cream
• 50 grams (1/3 cup) all-purpose flour
• 150 ml chicken stock
• 1 cup three-cheese blend (equal parts mozzarella, cheddar, and Monterey Jack)
• 1.5 kg potatoes, sliced

How to Prepare Creamy Chicken and Potato Pie:

Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced).

Step 2:
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and heat until foamy. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes until caramelized. Add the chopped beef bacon and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until crispy. Add the chicken and cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes until browned. Add the minced garlic and stir until combined.

Step 3:
Whisk 50 ml of the cream with the flour in the skillet. Add the remaining cream, tilting the skillet slightly to allow the butter to slide to the other side. Once the cream thickens, stir it into the chicken mixture. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Stir in the three-cheese blend and season with pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

Step 4:
Carefully arrange the sliced potatoes on top of the chicken mixture in a circular pattern. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy and golden. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Enjoy this rich and comforting Creamy Chicken and Potato Pie!
