Method

  1. Bring a large pan of water to the boil and blanch the cabbage for 1-2 mins until bright in colour, remove with a slotted spoon and drain in a colander. Add the potatoes to the pan, bring to the boil and cook for 15-18 mins until soft. Drain well and mash. Stir through the cabbage, the milk and the butter and season with salt and black pepper.

  2. While the potatoes are cooking, heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the onions, leek, garlic and mushrooms together for 8-10 mins until soft and any liquid has evaporated.
  3. Stir in the frozen chicken, cover with a lid and cook for 6-8 mins until defrosted, stirring regularly. Stir in the soft cheese and reduce the heat to low. Season with salt and black pepper and cook for 1-2 mins, or until the chicken is thoroughly heated through.
  4. Simmer the peas in a small saucepan for 3 mins until tender. Divide the colcannon between plates and top with the mushroom chicken. Serve with the peas.
