The recipe serves 4 but I suppose it could easily be double or more.

Ingredients:

-12oz / 350g boneless cooked chicken, cut into bite size
pieces
-2lb / 1kg smallish potatoes
-salt
-4oz / 100g frozen mixed veg with sweetcorn
-1 x 1/2 pint / 300ml packet parsley sauce mix (I use onion
sauce because nobody likes parsley sauce here, it says you
can also use cheese sauce mix if liked)
-1/2 pint / 300ml milk
-1 teaspoon worstershire sauce
-pinch of freshly grated nutmeg (I just use the ground
stuff, it's always good enough for us)
-black pepper
-3 hard boiled eggs, chopped (I leave these out so I can
freeze any leftovers, plus I don't particularly like the
taste of them in it)
-1 1/2 oz / 40g butter
-3oz / 75g cheddar cheese, grated
-1oz / 25g flaked almonds (optional)

Directions:

Peel & cook the potatoes whole in boiling salted water for about 15 minutes until tender but still firm. At the same time, cook the frozen veg according to packet directions.
While the potatoes and veg are cooking, make up the sauce with the milk accordin to packet directions. Stir in the worstershire sauce, nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste.
Drain the veg and fold in to the sauce with the chicken and hard boiled eggs. Simmer over very gentle heat until the chicken is thoroughly heated through, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, drain the potatoes and, when cool enough to handle, slice thickly. Grease a shallow flameproof dish with 1/2oz of the butter. Heat the grill to high.
Pour the chicken mixture into the dish and level the surface. Place the potatoe slices over the top, overlapping them so they cover the chicken mixture completely. Dot with the remaining butter and sprinkle with the cheese.
Place under the heated grill for 7-10 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Sprinkle the flaked almonds over the top, if using, and replace under the grill under the almonds are lightly toasted. Serve at once straight from dish.
