potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

Sweet potatoes are nutrient-rich, while cauliflower is lower in carbs.

Start by preparing the ingredients: onions, carrots, celery, and garlic.

Heat a mixture of butter and olive oil in a large pan.

Add the onions, carrots, and celery to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.

Add the garlic and stir for a moment.

Pour in 4 tablespoons of white wine and cook until the alcohol evaporates, leaving flavor.

Add about a tablespoon of tomato puree and half the required amount of chicken stock, along with diced tomatoes.

Cook this mixture down for about 10 to 15 minutes to thicken it up.

Add chopped kalamata olives and shredded roast chicken to the pan, stirring to combine.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Prepare the mashed potatoes with butter, milk, and a large tablespoon of yogurt for tanginess.

Spread the mashed potatoes over the chicken mixture in a baking dish.

Top with grated cheese and homemade bread crumbs for crunch.

Bake in the oven until golden and bubbling.
