Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 300 g parsnips peeled and chopped into bitesize chunks (roughly 1cm/½inch)
- 300 g carrots peeled and chopped into bitesize chunks (roughly 1cm/½inch)
- 1 large leek sliced (roughly ½cm/¼inch thick)
- 500 g skinless, boneless chicken thigh fillets chopped into bitesize chunks
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 chicken stock cube (I use Kallo Organic)
- 750 ml boiling water
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F.
- Place the olive oil and vegetables in a flameproof, ovenproof pan. (See Note 1.) Fry over a high heat, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are lightly browned – about 4 minutes.
- Add the chicken and fry for 1 more minute, stirring frequently.
- Meanwhile, make a quick gravy by putting the 2 tablespoons of flour and the crumbled chicken stock cube into a large jug. Add a splash of cold water and stir to make a smooth paste. Then add the boiling water slowly, stirring to ensure there are no lumps.
- Pour the gravy into the pan with the vegetables and chicken. Stir and bring to the boil.
- Put the lid on the pan and put the stew into your preheated oven. Cook for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, baked potatoes and/or green vegetables.
Notes
- I use a Le Creuset-style cast iron casserole dish, (AKA dutch oven) which can go on the hob and in the oven. If you don’t have a pan that can go on the hob and in the oven, simply start this stew in a regular saucepan and then tip it into an ovenproof dish to go into the oven.
- I use a 4 litres capacity / 24cm diameter dutch oven. (4.25 quarts / 9.5 inches) There is certainly some flexibility with this stew, however, so a slightly smaller or larger dutch oven / saucepan / ovenproof dish would still work just fine.
- Suitable for freezing.
