Macros are for one serving as written. Make gives you more servings of the same size; Portion resizes one serving and moves the macros with it.

Ingredients

  • 170g (6 oz) chicken thigh, boneless, diced
  • 150g (5 oz) potato, in 1.5cm / 1/2in dice
  • 60g (1) carrot, diced
  • 60g (1/2 cup) peas, frozen
  • 100ml (scant 1/2 cup) skim milk
  • 30g (2 tbsp) light cream cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves (6g), minced
  • 150ml (2/3 cup) chicken stock
  • 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp fine salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper

9 ingredients, each with the gram weight the macros above were computed from.

Method

  1. Brown the diced thigh in a dry hot skillet 5 min - thigh renders enough fat that it needs no oil.
  2. Add the potato, carrot and garlic and cook 3 min, stirring.
  3. Pour in the stock and thyme, cover and simmer 12 min until the potato gives to a knife.
  4. Stir in the milk and cream cheese and let it bubble gently 3 min until it thickens to a gravy.
  5. Add the peas straight from frozen and cook 2 min more.
  6. Check the chicken is 74C / 165F, then season with the salt and pepper.
  7. Take it off the heat and let it stand 5 min - it thickens noticeably as it settles.

How Plus works

Tip: light cream cheese does the work a butter-and-flour roux would, without the 20 minutes or the fat. It thickens on contact and tastes richer than it is.
