Tips & Dietary Needs

Protein swap – We have instructions on how to change the chicken thighs to chicken breast in the book. I imagine pork chops would also be delicious!
No Chicken Stock Concentrate? We highly recommend making Niks Chicken Stock Concentrate for best results! Vegetable stock concentrate will work. You can also replace the water with liquid stock.
Dairy-free – Use dairy-free mozzarella and nutritional yeast. Use dairy-free cream, we find Flora Plant based cream works best in dishes that you don’t want to taste like coconut.
Low carb – Replace potato with cauliflower. Replace water with cream. Replace flour with ½ tsp xanthan gum sprinkled in.
Lower calorie – Halve mozzarella. Replace Parmesan with nutritional yeast. Butterfly chicken breast, sear for a couple of min each side . Use low-fat cream and replace half the potato with cauliflower if desired.
Paleo – Omit mozzarella. Replace potato with sweet potato. Replace flour with ½ tsp xanthan gum sprinkled in.
Go vegetarian – Replace Chicken with half the amount of Swiss brown mushrooms and 1 tin butter beans, rinsed. Use vegetable stock concentrate.
Low Fodmap – Omit garlic. Replace butter with garlic infused olive oil. Replace onion powder with dried chives or chopped spring onion (green part only). Use compliant stock concentrate and lactose-free cream.

How to Cook

Preheat oven and brown chicken on both sides.
Grate cheeses.

From the Testing Team

Kate G – Absolutely delicious! We loved this one. I went completely rouge and added every veg that was starting to look a little sad and it was perfect.
Raelene S -Who’d have thought you could improve a standard potato bake??? This is delicious.
Angie G – Chicken Florentine for lunch today, from my freezer stash, defrosted and reheated well in the microwave. The chicken was tender & moist and the potatoes were nice & creamy/sausy and tasted delicious

FAQs

Can I use a PYREX or ceramic dish if I don’t have a metal baking dish?
You can, but it will take longer for the potatoes to cook. You can also try preheating the dish to help it cook faster.

Can I use my Thermomix Cutter?

Yes, we tested both thin and thick cut. The thin is better but both work, just cook until tender.
