Heat a large, oven-proof pan over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp olive oil.
Brown the chicken then remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the onion, celery, carrot and mushroom then cook until soft and fragrant.
Add the garlic, seasoning and herbs and fry for another minute.
Add the chicken back to the pot and pour in the wine. Allow the wine to reduce.
Pour in the tomatoes, soy sauce and stock. Lower the heat and cover with the lid ajar.
Allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sauce has reduced.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
TO make the topping, cook the potatoes and cauliflower in plenty of salted boiling water until tender.
Drain then mash with the cream, butter, salt and pepper.
Top the chicken with the mashed vegetables. Brush with melted butter (optional).
Place in the oven and allow to bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow to stand for a few minutes before serving.
