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.

    Lovely with some mashed potato. Added carrots with the parsnips and served with green beans as well to add more veg.

    Made this in the slow cooker with turkey pieces and carrots (because that's what was in the cupboard). Beautiful, lots of sauce and not too sweet. Will definitely make this again...and again and again.... :)

    Am going to try this as it sounds good but will change the parsnips which I loathe! for carrots.

    Definitely needed more flavour. Think I'll use chicken stock and more honey and mustard next time. Actually, to keep cals down, will use Agave syrup instead of honey. I used about 500ml stock as there wasn't enough liquor and had to thicken with arrowroot which gave it a lovely, glossy consistency.

    Just used half the specified amount of honey due to other comments but otherwise stuck to the recipe. This tasted amazing - so good and so quick and easy.

    This was a great recipe and I used up some rather tired parsnips. I used chicken breast as I had them in the fridge. I left it cooking on a very low heat for well over an hour and a half, I just added a little more liquid to it when my other half rang to say he would be late home. Will do this one again

    I made this in my slow cooker it was fab, I left the parsnips a bit chunkier because of some of the comments that were left and they didn't go mushy. It was enjoyed by all the family including my 5 year old son who can be a bit lazy at eating. I would make again

    Very easy and really tasty. Cooked in the oven for about 90 mins, chicken was really tender. Only gave 5 stars instead of 6 as slightly too sweet, will add a little less honey next time and I'm sure it will get the full 6!

    I agree it was far to sweet however i still enjoyed it. If i ever make it again I'll use less honey and chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs.

    This was gorgeous -- served it with colcannon which was a great accompaniment. I definitely recommend cooking it for the full 90 minutes as in the tip, it made it so tender! http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2649/colcannon

    Absolutely loved this recipe. Used turkey breast pieces instead of chicken and worked really well. I think it would work equally well with sausages too.
