Chicken Potpie Bowls



Ingredients


  • 1 3/4 pounds yellow potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 1 cup small broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard


Directions


  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the potatoes, garlic and enough salted water to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water.
  2. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons EVOO over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and shred; season with salt.
  3. In the same skillet as you cooked the chicken in, add the onion and thyme and cook, stirring, over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Lower the heat to medium, then add the peas and carrots and the broccoli and cook for 2 minutes. In a bowl, stir the cornstarch into the remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth, then stir into the vegetable mixture. Bring it to a boil and cook until thickened. Stir in the chicken and mustard and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  4. In a bowl, mash the potatoes with the remaining 3 tablespoons EVOO and the reserved cooking water. Divide the potatoes among four shallow bowls. Make a well in the centers and top with the chicken and vegetables.
