Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and parboil the broccoli florets and potatoes for 5 minutes.
Fry the diced chicken with the onion and paprika powder until golden.
Spread the potatoes, broccoli and chicken over an oven dish and pour the cream over.
Scatter generously with grated cheese.
Bake for 25 minutes until golden and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Cauliflower, leek or spinach work just as well. A layer of crushed crackers or breadcrumbs over the cheese gives a crisp crust. You can build this dish completely in the morning and slide it into the oven in the evening, adding ten minutes of baking time because it goes in cold.
Or press the button and let it surprise you.
A creamy sauce full of basil pesto, tender pan-fried chicken and the fresh sweetness of cherry tomatoes. This is comfort food with something extra, on the table in 25 minutes with no fuss.
Buttery salmon from the oven, crisp broccoli and a fresh note of lemon. Simple, healthy and on your plate within half an hour. Perfect for a weeknight without any fuss.
