Lets start with a ...

Easy one-pot chicken casserole

A light and quick spring chicken and vegetable stew that can be whipped up in less than an hour

Ingredients

8 bone-in chicken thigh, skin pulled off and discarded

1 tbsp oil

5 spring onion, sliced

2 tbsp plain flour

2 chicken stock cube

2 large carrot, cut into batons (no need to peel)

400g new potato, halved if large

200g frozen pea

1 tbsp grainy mustard small handful fresh soft herbs, like parsley, chives, dill or tarragon, chopped.

Method

Put the kettle on. Fry the thighs in the oil in a casserole or wide pan with a lid to quickly brown. Stir in the whites of the spring onion with the flour and stock cubes until the flour disappears, then gradually stir in 750ml hot water from the kettle. Throw in the carrots and potatoes, bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 mins.

Take off the lid and simmer for 15 mins more, then throw in the peas for another 5 mins. Season, stir in the mustard, green spring onion bits, herbs and some seasoning.
