Thanks OP, I'll give this a try.

Why is it important to not overboil the potatoes? I usually do just that because it makes them easier to mash.
 
Stuff a chicken breast with spinach, smoked cheese and sun dried tomatoes.
Mix a sauce of mustard, dried Italian an herbs and wine vinegar, pour it over the stuffed chicken breast
Heat some olive oil in a skillet over a medium high heat and brown chicken breast/sauce for 4 minutes, turning occasionally
Put skillet in medium oven for 16 minutes.
Remove skillet from oven, remove chicken breast from skillet and allow to rest for 5 mins. Add a splash of noilly prat to skillet and mix with mustard sauce over a high heat. Add some more spinach to the skillet to wilt. Finally add some creme fresche, reduce heat to low and stir into sauce.
Pour over chicken breast and enjoy will salad or charlotte potatoes.
End to end, 25 mins for a gourmet quality meal.

It’s a pleasure

My daughter has tried her best to get me to eat fish pie but I'm good with the fish and I have a pie every time I'm at the Etihad, but a 'fish pie'. It just doesn't sound right. I've made one with a recipe she gave me but Mrs Ewing and I ate it as though we were medieval monarch poison tasters. I don't think I will revisit fish pie.
