Instructions
1
In a large pan, combine the diced chicken, chopped vegetables, chicken soup powder, and 600 ml of water. Stir well to dissolve the soup powder completely.
2
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to allow it to simmer gently for 10 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together nicely.
3
While the chicken mixture simmers, place the sliced potatoes into a separate pan of lightly salted water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and set them aside.
4
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius, Gas Mark 4) in preparation for baking.
5
Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture from the pan into a casserole or baking dish, spreading it evenly across the base of the dish.
6
Arrange the pre-cooked potato slices evenly over the top of the chicken and vegetable mixture, ensuring full coverage.
7
Brush the layer of potatoes with the melted butter, ensuring they are evenly coated. This will help them crisp and turn golden during baking.
8
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake it for 1 hour, or until the potatoes are beautifully golden and the casserole is heated through.
9
Once cooked, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your meal hot.
