Ingredients

  • 1 g Black Pepper
  • 12 g Butter
  • 80 g Chicken broth
  • 120 g Corn kernel
  • 1 g Dried Thyme
  • 45 g Milk 2%
  • 5 g Olive oil
  • 60 g Onion
  • 250 g Potato
  • 2 g Salt
  • 400 g Whole Chicken

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 190°C. Rub the whole chicken with olive oil, thyme, half the salt, and pepper.
  2. Place the chicken in a baking dish with 40 g of the chicken broth. Roast until cooked through and the thickest part reaches 74°C, about 55 to 60 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in water until very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well.
  4. Mash the potatoes with milk, butter, and the remaining salt until smooth. Set aside.
  5. Let the roasted chicken rest briefly, then remove the meat from the bones and shred it. Mix the shredded chicken with the onion and remaining chicken broth.
  6. Spread the chicken mixture in a small oven-safe meal-prep dish. Top with corn, then spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the corn.
  7. Bake at 190°C until the top is lightly golden and the filling is hot, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly before storing.
