Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix together the crème fraîche, mustard, garlic and stock with some seasoning. Arrange the chicken, skin-side up, in a roasting tray just large enough for the chicken and vegetables.

Whole chicken

Why not try this recipe using a whole jointed chicken. Don't add the chicken breasts at the start, instead add with 30 mins to go.

    Can highly recommend this.....was very easy to prepare, and tasted delicious. The green beans turned out rather shrivelled, so I think I'll cook them separately next time......I prefer mine crunchy.

    Delicious sauce, but as dj66 said beans were quite shrivelled and not cooked all the way through so would probably cook separately next time. Very quick and easy and would definitely make again.

    I mixed some mixed fresh herbs in with the creme fraiche/mustard/stock mixture and omitted the tarragon. We also skinned the chicken, omitted the green beans but added some small shallots. We also used left-over cooked roast potatoes and carrots. I covered the baking dish with foil for most of the cooking time. The main thing we found was that the chicken took a lot longer to cook than the recipe suggests. We cooked for 50 minutes with the foil on the dish, then another 15 minutes uncovered at 180C. We used chicken thighs on the bone. It was delicious and will cook again, with the above changes. We served with steamed beans and broccoli.

    My family said this was the 'best ever dinner Mum'. Although I didn't have the green beans, I added peppers instead, it went down a storm and will be a regular on the family menus from now on.

    Liked this alot! Used chicken breasts (seared to keep moist) as i dont like bones too much and it was delightful. Have had again since. Would recommend more tarragon and to marinade the chicken breasts overnight in the marinade to tenderise the chicken.

    Amazing. Simple to make. I also used chicken breasts. Will definately try Smurfhead's suggestion of marinating overnight. I can't wait to try again and bonus the other half loves it !

    I think this is going to become a family favourite because it's so easy, you just shove it in the oven for 40 mins. Next time I think I'll add more veggies, maybe unpeeled baby carrots. Tinned potatoes were a fine, cheaper, quicker alternative to 'the real thing'.
