Ingredients

4 large chicken thighs, skin on, bone in
2 (320g) onions
2 large (320g) carrots
½ a bunch (10g) of thyme
320g chestnut mushrooms
1 x 295g tin of condensed mushroom soup
600ml semi-skimmed milk
320g frozen sweetcorn
1 x 570g jar of cannellini beans
2 x 400g bags of potato gnocchi

Method

Put a large shallow non-stick casserole pan on a medium-high heat. Pull the skin off the chicken thighs and place it in the pan to render.

Season the thighs with a small pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and place in the pan, turning with tongs until golden all over, while you peel the onions and carrots and chop into 3cm chunks, adding as you go. Remove and discard the crispy chicken skin, then strip in the thyme, tear in the mushrooms, and cook for 20 minutes, or until the veg is caramelized, stirring regularly.

Now, stir in the soup and milk. Cover with a lid ajar, and simmer gently on a medium heat for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 220C.

Stir the sweetcorn and beans, juice and all, into the pan, then gently drop the gnocchi on top. Spritz with a little olive oil, then transfer uncovered to the oven for 30 minutes, or until the chicken pulls easily away from the bone, the gnocchi are golden and the stew is bubbling nicely.

    Tried this recipe tonight, sadly we found it bland and lacking in flavour and colour. Had really high hopes and excited that it contains 5 of your 7 a day. Disappointed!
