You can reduce the potato topping calories by using some swede or cauliflower instead
Dry fry mince then add veggies simmer in the stock. Place in dish
meanwhile boil the potatoes mash with milk and assemble.

Makes a good 6 portions not the 8. Sometimes I add chorizo to it if I have some about. Nice with a warm bread roll!0 -

I find braised chicken freezes well. Google Coq au Vin, Chicken Cacciatore, Chicken, Chicken Teriyaki, Curry Chicken and Chicken Tagine. Here's my mom's easy Chinese Curry which I freeze for midweek meals.
Brown some chicken pieces (my batch is 6-8 thighs, but breasts, drumsticks or a jointed whole chicken would work). If you leave the skin on there is no need for extra fat. If you skin the chicken you will need a little cooking oil. Remove chicken from the pan and fry chopped onion in the fat, then stir in minced garlic and continue to fry a few moments. Return chicken to pan and add enough water to just cover. Toss in 2 tablespoons of curry powder, a couple of peeled carrots chopped into one inch cylinders. a handful of sultanas and a few glugs of soy sauce. Button mushrooms optional. Add finely diced potato (slice thinly or grate with a food processor if you are not adept with a kitchen knife). Simmer uncovered 30-40 minutes until chicken is done. The potato should disintegrate and thicken the sauce. If sauce is too thin, remove chicken and boiled down furiously for a few minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
I haven't entered this in MFP and just use the entry for Curry Chicken with Potato, Homemade Chinese Dish which gives 342 calories for 200g.0 -

The database is the database that we all go searching for foods in. There is only the one. All the random dishes that say 'homemade' or list a blog or cookbook or somebody's name as the brand or source? Those are recipes people entered and shared.0
