Easy peasy: Niall McKenna’s Chicken with Onions and Peas and Cheesy Mashed Potato

As summer comes to a close this week and we welcome back the colder weather it’s time to return to tasty and reliable recipes. This week is also the perfect time to put these dishes to good use and organise a get-together with friends or family before the schooltime chaos returns and the season’s produce changes. For larger get-togethers I find it best to keep the menu simple and make something everyone is guaranteed to enjoy. With this in mind, this week’s recipes are chicken with peas and onions and an indulgent cheesy mash – the perfect end of summer menu. These two recipes use plenty of rich ingredients and flavours, so try and get the best chicken you can; use everything and even keep the carcass for some soup to have throughout the week. The cheesy mash is a rich and creamy delight,
