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.

    This is really delicious, satisfying and easy to throw together. The best part is that you can just walk away from it for an hour, a real low-maintenance meal. I put the parsnips in for the last 30 mins and served it with roast potatoes and greens. The only thing I'll change next time is the amount of stock used as even after an hour of simmering it was a bit too runny - a bit of a shame as all the good stuff in the sauce (mustard, honey, onions) gets left behind.

    Easy to throw together and very tasty. The leftover chicken worked really well in a rocket salad the next day too.

    halved the recipe as there is just me and hubby! Used skinless boneless thighs instead of boned, 1 and 1/2 tbs honey, cut parsnip sticks bit thicker (having read previous comments about them being soggy) end result ...perfect! Made the butternut & sweet potato mash to go with it......Delicious, easy cook, midweek dinner.

    Absolutely loved this recipe, cooked it for the full 90 minutes and that was great for the chicken thighs although the parsnips did turn to mush but the mush tasted great, but next time I might add them halfway through. Yummy!

    The whole family love this dish, though I would recommend transferring the casserole dish to the oven to avoid it going dry.

    This is a very nice and easy meal. Personally, I would use diced chicken breasts as these are less messy and easier to eat. Also, I did add some chicken bisto granules to thicken the sauce.

    Made this for dinner tonight. It was very tasty! I added celery in with the onions and used carrots instead of parsnips as that was all I had and the family arent keen on parsnips . Only issue I had was that I added more stock than the recipe stated due to extra veg and I was worried that the chicken would go dry. Dont think I should have added more bacause there was a lot left and it didnt really thicken so had to use a slatted spoon to get out the good stuff!. Will deffo make again and follow the recipe more strictly. The children enjoyed it, even my very fussy 2 year-old.
