Shopping day tomorrow. I just created some concoction of everything that needed use. I cooked chicken breasts in loads of herbs, put them in a baking dish with potato gratin on top and sprinkled crumbed tortilla chips on top. Currently in oven. Felt like a right chef making it and now I feel like a fool. Would you eat this?! 😂

I think the chicken might have needed a sauce of some kind - was it precooked or did it go in raw?

ChasedByBees · 20/09/2018 20:34

Sorry you said you cooked them.

I wouldn't eat it because I can't have the gratin, but the other 3 members of the Andro household? they'd be on it like locusts!

Whats the verdict

mrsdgrohl · 20/09/2018 20:44

DH inhaled it, went back for seconds and finished off my plate because I thought it was awfulGrin I'm now eating pot noodle and drinking g&t like a classy lady

Sounds fine served with veg.

Doritos are not made of potatoes.

MrsGrindah · 20/09/2018 20:45

True. I read chips as potatoes but they could be flour and water. Even so it’s double carbs

perroy · 20/09/2018 20:49

Sèrve?

PinkHeart5914 · 20/09/2018 20:50

And what’s wrong with double carbs? Some of us like our carbs doubled you know.....

Sounds lovely to me! Mexican inspired chicken hot pot!

delphguelph · 20/09/2018 20:53

Mexican shepherds pie, obviously

Tell him you googled it

mrsdgrohl · 20/09/2018 20:54

@PinkHeart5914 Have you tried triple carbs? 10/10 recommend

So essentially chicken with potatoes in a bechamel/white sauce with a crunchy topping? Sounds OK to me.

Actually, I sort of feel like something like that now...

IHaveBrilloHair · 20/09/2018 21:00

I'd probably eat it, I eat most things but it does sound out.
The, "loads of herbs", thing got me.
Why?

IHaveBrilloHair · 20/09/2018 21:01

Odd, not out.

TatianaLarina · 20/09/2018 21:02

I assumed more like pomme dauphinoise? Potato with white sauce would be ick..

CoughLaughFart · 20/09/2018 21:03

True. I read chips as potatoes but they could be flour and water. Even so it’s double carbs

So what?

PecanPastry · 20/09/2018 21:11

This sounds yummy OP, inspired, even - but where's the cheese?! Please tell me that there's cheese, and mayo :-)

BitOutOfPractice · 20/09/2018 21:22

It sounds like heaven

CaMePlaitPas · 20/09/2018 21:24

Why are you putting crisps on top of a gratin?
Aside from that it sounds quite nice.

PinkHeart5914 · 20/09/2018 21:30

Crisps on top of gratin because well it taste nice? Have you never put tortilla chips & cheese on a pasta bake? Heaven

Yes OP to triple carbs 😍

mumsastudent · 20/09/2018 21:33

don't tell him ingredients just serve

Rebecca36 · 20/09/2018 21:36

Sounds de-licious! You're quite inventive, give yourself a pat on the back.
