- 1 medium onion, peeled and diced
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
- 2 small chicken breasts, cut into 2cm cubes

Household Staples
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 chicken or vegetable stock cube
- 2 level tbsp cornflour or gravy granules
- 300ml boiling water
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
- Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.
- Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a medium sized saucepan, add the onion and cook at a medium heat for 5 minutes until starting to turn golden.
- Then add the minced garlic and the cubes of chicken and cook until the chicken is starting to turn golden at the edges.
- Add the frozen vegetables to the pot.
- If using cornflour, mix it with a tablespoon of cold water in a cup.
- Dissolve the stock cube in 300ml of boiling water, add to the saucepan, and bring back up to the boil. Add the cornflour mixture if using, or the gravy granules, and stir to ensure there are no lumps as it thickens. Remove from the heat, and add ¾ of the grated cheese if using.
