Smoked Chicken, Artichoke and Cherry Tomato Bake Recipe

A delicious hearty winter warmer inspired by a vegetarian recipe from Rukmini Iyer.

Serves 3

Ingredients

170g Smoked Chicken Breast 
2 Leeks, finely sliced
 2 tbsp Olive Oil 
200g Plain Flour
3 Free-range Eggs
300ml Milk
200g Feta Cheese, crumbled
Cherry Tomatoes on the vine 250g
1 x 290g jar of Artichoke hearts, sliced and drained
15g Fresh Dill, roughly chopped

Preheat the oven to 210C fan/gas mark 8. While it’s heating, slice the leeks, tip them into a metal roasting tin along with the olive oil, mix well, then pop them into the oven to roast while you get on with the batter.

Put the flour into a bowl. Whisk the eggs and milk together, pour this over the flour and whisk until smooth, then stir in the crumbled feta cheese.

Cut the Smoked Chicken Breast into chunks.

Once the oven has come to temperature, remove the tin of leeks, give them a good stir, then pour the batter evenly over the top.

Scatter over the tomatoes, their vines, the Smoked Chicken and the artichokes, then return to the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes, until the bake is well risen and golden brown.

Sprinkle with the roughly chopped dill, serve with a fresh salad, baby potatoes and enjoy.
