Method

  1. Heat half the oil in a large frying pan or shallow casserole with a lid. Brown the chicken until golden, then set aside. Heat the remaining oil, then cook the onions for 5 mins until softened.
  2. Nestle the thighs back amongst the onions and add the parnips. Mix the stock with the mustard and honey, then pour in. Scatter over the thyme, then bring to a simmer. Cover, then cook for 30 mins (or longer, see tip) until the chicken is tender, then season. Serve with steamed greens.

Tip

If you've got time, this casserole will gently bubble away for up to 90 minutes. The meat will be very tender and fall away from the bones.

    Did this for dinner last night. Used chicken breasts instead of thighs and it was delicious. Very easy and went done well with everyone. Also added carrots and a few chopped dried apricots. Definitely one to do again.

    Excellent dish. Doesn't spoil if you have it cooking and your other half rings to say they will be late home. Will definately try it again.

    Made this last night, exactly as directed. Meat was lovely and tender but I found the sauce far tto sweet. Next time I would reduce the honey by half.

    I actually didn't have enough honey and so I added a teaspoon of light muscovado sugar - it did the job perfectly. We loved it!

    This was very easy to prepare and tasted as if you'd put loads of effort into it. My husband was very late home and the dish was still OK bubbling away as suggested. I also used Chicken Breasts instead of thighs.

    this was very simple to make and my partner enjoyed it but i, like birgit, found the sauce to be far too sweet. although the long cooking time meant the meat was lovely and tender, the parsnips ended up far too soft - would cut them into much larger pieces if i made it again.

    This was so easy and delicious! I replaced the thighs with a whole chicken, and once all the ingredients had been added, cooked it in the oven at 160 for about an hour and a half, instead of the stove top. Wonderful sauce and tender meat.

    I found this recipe very easy and it was simply delicious. The chicken was sweet and tender. My cooking doesn't always turn out edible but even my husband couldn't resist this one. I added an extra tablespoon of honey and left it to gently simmer for about an hour and 15 minutes. Simple and delicious!

    Made this now a few times and agree with the comments about it not mattering if other half late home. I'm not one for Chicken thighs but must admit they were really tasty. may use Olivia's idea and cook a whole chicken this way!

    This was so easy & delicious. i'm not a huge parsnip fan but loved this. I did cook it for 90 mins so the meat was really tender & just fell off the bone. highly recommend this recipe

    A stunner! If parsnips are hard to find also use baby carrots or sliced carrots which works very well with the flavours

    Absolutely gorgeous!! I made it with chicken legs instead if thighs to reduce the fat content, and it was really tasty, but next time I will add he parsnips towards the end, as they did become slightly soggy.

    A store cupboard & family favourite - really tasty. Like a few of the other readers I use only 1 tbsp of honey - but I guess that's a taste thing.

    I didn't find the sweetness too overpowering. Just right, in fact. The one problem I had with this dish was that, by the end of the cooking time, the parsnips had almost disintegrated. I would perhaps add them a little later next time so they hold their shape better. Other than that it was delicious...and very popular with the kids (even the 18 month-old fuss-pot!

    I too found it too sweet and again the parsnips went mushy. Won't do again. Chicken was very tender though.
