Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Cut the potatoes into small cubes and put into a pan of water to boil on the hob. The potatoes will need to cook through but be careful not to over cook them, they still need to hold their shape well.
Step 2
Wash the leek and thinly slice. Include the whole leek, green and white parts. Slice the mushrooms. Trim any visible fat from the gammon or bacon and cut into pieces and cut the chicken into small chunks.
Step 3
Add the gammon, chicken, water, stock cube and mustard powder to the frying pan and spray with low calorie cooking spray. Also add 1 tsp of the garlic granules. Gently saute the meat until it has coloured and then add the leek and mushrooms.
Step 4
Once the leeks and mushrooms have softened add the spinach and stir until it is lightly wilted. Then take the pan off the heat and gently stir in the light mature cheese spread to create the cheese sauce.
Step 5
Make a well in the centre of the mixture and add the quark. Very gently stir working from the centre out until fully combined. It may sound odd, but this will prevent the quark from splitting! Season with salt and pepper to taste.
If you need to, now transfer the the mix into an oven proof dish. Grate the cheese and sprinkle half onto the top of the mix.
Step 6
Drain the potato cubes and arrange onto the top of the dish. Spray with low calorie cooking spray and sprinkle 1 tsp of garlic granules over the top.
Step 7
Place into the middle of the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then sprinkle the other half of the grated cheese on top of the potatoes, and cook for a furrther 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve!

How do you know when Chicken Tartiflette is cooked?
You should bake your Chicken Tartiflette in the oven for around 30 minutes (topping with cheese for the final 15 minutes), until the cheese is golden.
Standard advice here in the UK is to cook food until it has reached 70°C and stayed at that temperature for 2 minutes. This is to keep your family safe.
How long can you keep Chicken Tartiflette in the fridge?
Once you’ve put it out, ideally you should eat it within 4 hours.
If you allow any leftovers to cool, make sure to refrigerate in a container with a lid and chill. You can keep leftovers of Chicken Tartiflette in the fridge for approximately 3 days or so.
Can I freeze Chicken Tartiflette?
Yes you can! This recipe can be frozen, but please remember to do the following;
- Freeze it as soon as it is cold enough.
- Use a container or bag that is suitable for freezing.
Don’t forget to add a label with what it is, and on what date you put it in the freezer!
How do I reheat Chicken Tartiflette?
From chilled: Place in a microwave proof container with loosely fitting lid and heat for 4-7 minutes until piping hot.
From frozen: Allow to defrost, and heat covered in the microwave for 3-5 minutes then stir. Cook for a further 5-7 minutes until piping hot.
To get the best result after freezing, we recommend microwaving the Chicken Tartiflette and then transfer into an oven proof dish. Pop into a hot oven and the top will get nice and crispy again!
