Potatoes
3 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
3 Tbsp milk
3/4 tsp salt
Chicken mixture
Cooking spray
2 large carrots, finely chopped
1 onion, chopped
1/2 tsp dried thyme (or 1½ tsp fresh)
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 cups fresh spinach, coarsely chopped ½ cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1. Place potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, until tender.
2. While potatoes are boiling, set oven to 375°F. Lightly coat a heavy-bottomed skillet with cooking spray; place over medium heat.
3. Add carrots, onion, and thyme. Cook until slightly browned, stirring often.
4. Add chicken and cook until golden brown. Turn off heat; stir in spinach, ricotta, and salt.
5. Drain potatoes well, then return to pot. Add olive oil, milk, and salt, and mash till smooth (some lumps are okay).
6. Place chicken mixture in a 9-inch pan, and top with mashed potatoes. Bake for 15 minutes. To brown the potatoes, broil for 5 more minutes.
**For my daughter, I left everything separate: chicken, potatoes and vegetables. She enjoyed it very much (and I imagine most picky eaters would)!**

Yum! Will Peyton eat spinach? Chandler will not, but he eats almost anything else.
This looks good. I think we need to have a pot Luck Party. What do you think? Everyone make a dish and bring a recipe. Now...where to have it, lol.
Now, that is a comfort food if I ever saw one. That looks so good right now. Thanks!!!
