 600g shredded chicken breast (pre-boiled or leftover roast chicken)
 200g cooked and chopped bacon
 2 broccoli heads, finely chopped
 1 white onion, peeled and diced
 1 cup sliced mushrooms
 Optional: 2 cups grated potato
 Optional: grated cheese for the topping
For The Sauce
 1 can coconut cream
 1.5 cups chicken bone broth
 ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (regular milk will also work)
 1 tbsp olive oil
 1 tbsp minced garlic
 4 tbsp Dijon mustard
 2 tsp dried thyme
 2 tsp dried parsley
 2 tsp dried rosemary
 1 tsp salt
 ½ tsp black pepper
 1.5 tbsp arrowroot flour dissolved in 2 tbsp water
1

Preheat oven to 200°C. In a large casserole dish, combine shredded chicken, bacon, broccoli, onion, mushrooms (and potato if using).

2

Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the remaining sauce ingredients (except arrowroot mixture) and lower the heat. Bring to a slow simmer for 5 minutes until the ingredients are well combined. 

3

Stir in the arrowroot mixture until the sauce thickens into a creamy consistency. 

4

Pour sauce into the casserole dish, mixing well to coat the meat and veggies evenly. Top with cheese if using. Bake uncovered for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown.
