- NOTES: ~ Cooking cream is a specific cream that resists splitting when heated. If you must use regular cream, add 1-2 tsp of cornflour to it first before adding, to help prevent splitting. More info HERE ~ Chicken thigh fillets can be substituted for diced leg fillets or diced breast fillets. I do find breast can be a little dry though so definitely recommend thigh.~ Vegeta is a dry gourmet vegetable stock powder available in all supermarkets. It's a lovely rich flavour and highly recommended for this recipe.~ For the shredded cheese I used a Pizza Blend (Mozzarella, Cheddar and Parmesan)

made this today & was definitely impressed, was so creamy will be on my favourites list
Was delicious, will be adding to my favorites list 🙂
Made this for lunch today . Really delicious but a tad salty for our taste but that will be easily fixed next time by not putting as much vegeta Will definitely be making this again
This was so easy to make and yummy.
I didn’t have enough broccoli, so also used red capsicum and peas & corn.
I didn’t know what Vegeta was (let alone have it in my pantry :-)) so used x2 veg stock cubes.
Rereading the recipe tonight to write this, I have just realised I completely forgot to put the cheese in! But it was still a hit and yummy without it, so I look forward to trying it the next time I make it – with cheese.
I did this yesterday and loved the result.
I made a couple of changes to the recipe to match what I had in the fridge:
– Halved the amount of broccoli and added the same amount of cauliflower
– Added mushrooms
– Added bacon
So it became more of a casserole than a pure mornay, but it was delicious.
I am on leftovers for the next few days now.
I made this yesterday using a cooked BBQ chicken & it worked very well. I did find it a bit salty so will reduce the amount of Vegeta next time. I added some lemon juice to reduce the salt & that made a big difference. Will definitely cook this again.
Thanks so much for your feedback and 5 star rating Jackie! 🙂
