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.

    Yummy! I used chicken breasts aswell. I also added a few carrots for colour. When it was done I served up the veg and chicken and added a dollop of creme fraiche to the pan to make a creamy sauce.

    Lovely recipe, only put half the mustard in as not a fan and was still fantastic. Great taste, nice and sweet. Made it for the whole family and they all loved it.

    Delicious! Made this for my husband and the in-laws and it was amazing! I served this with Purple Brocoli and brown rice. The parsnips were perfect and the sweetness was fine! Honey and mustard chicken is supposed to be sweet. will definitely make this again. I added 4 cloves of garlic with the onion and added some cornflour at the end to thicken the sauce a bit. Will definitely make this again.

    I made this without the parsnips and served with roast vegetables.

    Parsnips, were just a mushy mess!! Loved the tenderness of the chicken, but everything tasted so sweet even with adjustments as suggested by others - will probably try again & swap parsnips for another veg

    Simple to make, and good flavours. Would work well with mustard mash...

    I swapped the parsnips for carrots, and served it with mashed potato. It was my night for cooking (we try and give mum a few days off) and the family absolutely loved it :)

    Just made this from the one pot cookbook - it was a huge hit with the family - Since I haven't got a sweet tooth I thought it was a little too sweet but the others disagree. The parsnips were surprisingly yummy and my 8 yr old who normally detests them, wolfed them down

    fantastic and easy to cook. I usually serve it with cabbage fried with onions and bacon. I get requests to cook this all the time and it never fails to please. Have also used some sweet and sour sauce with mustard seeds when I didn't have all the ingredients once and served it with extra carrots it was divine.

    Excellent recipe, so easy & all in one pot which I love. First time I cooked this my husband went on about it for days. Give it a try and don't be afraid to tweak it to suit your tastes. I've used a mix of carrots and parsnips before also not used any honey. It is a sweetdish which isn't to everyones liking.

    I also used chicken breast and carrots - cooked in casserole dish for ages and was delicious! Served with roasted parsnips - has added to my list of regularly made low fat dishes!

    I made a couple of tweaks: used a whole jointed chicken, and carrots instead of parsnips, plus I prob went for a touch less honey and mustard than instructed. It was a huge success with the whole family - really easy to make and quite unusual despite storecupboard ingredients. I will make this again, possibly with slightly less honey and a bit more thyme. YUM.

    I found the outcome of this recipe really medicore to be honest - the sauce was thin and the flavour just average. On the second night I tried to boost it with leeks, mushrooms and more mustard, but nothing could save it from mediocracy. I wont be making it again.
