Chicken & bacon cacciatore, with JG colcannon

Didn't follow the recipe to the letter. I used most of a small bottle of white wine instead of vinnegar. I didn't put in 500ml of stock, rather just dissolved the cube into the bottom of a cup of hot water - otherwise it'll be WAYY too watery. I've added sliced mushrooms and chopped celery. No point in using chicken with skin on it, as it'll just go soggy, so I used chicken breasts (I put in 6 which I cut into thirds, but 8 - 10 would be better.

 

Cooked it all on a grill pan, covered it with tinfoil and left it simmer for a good hour and a half, melt in the mouth stuff.

 

Oh yes, even though I left out the 500ml of water, the sauce was still too thin. So I stirred in 3-4 heaped table spoons of cornflour in stages to thicken it.

Again didn't totally follow the recipe. Can't say how much savoy cabbage I added, just attacked the head I had, boiled it for an hour and stirred it into the mash. Also I put in a heaped tablespoon of wholegrain mustard, I'd have put in more except the kids would have had a fit lol. If the spuds start melting or look very wet, spread them up the sides of the colander when straining and let them steam for a few minutes, then turn them over and leave them steam for another few minutes.

 

I had two servings, fractured myself eating, lol, am fit for more now but none left!
