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.

    Left this simmering for about 30 mins and the stock had almost completely disappeared so had to add the same again, so the chicken was slightly dry. Also did half carrots and half parsnip. Very nice tasting

    Really loved this dish..........even though it had parsnips in it (added them for my hubby). Think that I will use chicken breasts next time, and will add the parsnips a little later on.

    So easy to make and always goes down a storm, I usually serve it with cabbage fried with bacon. Yum. At a friends the other day I went to make it but they bought back the wrong ingredients: mixed bits of chicken, (wing tips drumsticks etc) sweet and sour sauce and carrots (I knew they wern't listening to me!) I made it the same way, with s+s sauce instead of honey (used more) a few mustard seeds fried with the onion and carrots instead of parsnips. It was seriously tasty. Nice to know that you can seriously muck about with this recipe and it still taste amazing.

    A nice dish - very easy. Maybe it's just me but it took longer than 5 mins for me to prepare it!

    I didn't like this - the ingredients appealed to me but the finished dish was too sweet.

    Absolutely delicious - 6 year old fussy eater asked for more! Used chicken breasts cubed, worked very well. This will become a regular meal in our house!

    Made this receipe tonight and left it to simmer for 90 mins as suggested. Did not use as much honey as I felt it would be too sweet and also cut the parsnips into chunks and they still came out over cooked. However it was a really tasty dinner and would definitely do again!

    I really enjoyed this recipe! I didnt find it too sweet and the mustard, honey and stock make a really delicious sauce (I used chicken stock). To add a bit of extra flavour I kept the skin on the chicken and removed prior to serving. YUM!

    I made this for lunch today and it was very tasty and filling. I used chicken breasts and served with a sweet potato and cinnamon mash. I will definatley be making it ago,although i'd used less stock next time, maybe 250 ml. Really easy to cook :)

    This is a great back up when you're in the supermarket and not sure what to buy for tea as it's so easy to remember the ingredients required and is a very satisfying, comforting meal, if you like the ingredients! Tip: add the parsnips 10 minutes before the end as they can become too soft.

    Delicious; served with mash and broccoli yum. Baked in the oven instead of the hob and it worked a treat. Took the lid off half way through cooking time (40mins) to crisp up a little. Will definitely be having again.
