Creamy Chicken Hotpot with Butter Beans & Cavolo Nero

A deeper, more savoury take on a classic hotpot. Sweet onions cooked in the chicken fat, tender chicken, buttery beans and cavolo nero folded through a rich tarragon cream sauce, then baked under crisp golden potatoes. Proper comforting food and exactly the sort of thing you want on a cold night.

Step 1

Heat a large deep frying pan or casserole over a medium-high heat with the oil. Season the chicken lightly and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Work in batches if needed so the chicken browns rather than steams. Remove and set aside.

Notes

Extra Tips for the Best Result Use a wide dish A wider surface area helps the thinner potato layer crisp properly. Don’t skip browning the chicken This builds the depth that makes the sauce taste slow-cooked. Let the wine reduce fully This prevents acidity from splitting the cream and deepens flavour. The sauce should be thick before baking It should coat the back of a spoon. If it looks thin, simmer another minute. Slice potatoes evenly and thin About 3mm ensures they cook through before over-browning. Add cheese lightly A small scatter gives golden colour without turning it into a gratin. Let it rest before serving This transforms the filling from loose to rich and cohesive.
