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.

    Had this instead of a traditional sunday roast and thought it was delicious! I served it with mashed sweet potato and carrot. I will certainly be making it again.

    Really lovely dish and makes a change not to roast parsnips and use them for something else. Husband was late in from work so in the end I did cook it for 90mins (see tip on recipe) and it really was tender chicken. Great to leave it to simmer and give it the odd stir. Served it with roast potatoes, lovely meal.

    Cooked this and everyone loved it. Not a great fan of parsnips but they ended up like a sweet compot with the onions instead of a sauce. Would definitely cook again.

    Tasty, but way too sweet as the parsnips are already sweet. Used boneless thighs. The pic shows a small casserole and not a shallow pan as recipe says, so cooked it in a casserole like the pic and cooked in a 350degree oven for an hour and a half. Next time I would half the amount of honey

    Made this for my new housemates and everyone loved it. Full of flavour and very warming. This would be even better in the winter with mash potato :)

    Used chicken breasts instead of thighs, and padded it out with carrots and peas, served with mash. A tasty recipe that fed was easy and filling.

    Newly retired and just started cooking properly. This was an easy and very successful dish to cook. I used chicken breast fillets. Parsnips were not too soft as expected, as we usually have them roasted. Part boiled potatoes, sweet potatoes and butternut squash pieces. My wife had seconds. Need I say more!

    A big hit with adults & kids alike. Definitely need to add Parsnips towards end of cooking time though. Served with mustard mash and steamed greens - really delicious.

    Fantastic flavour the family loved it. As usual I went a little off piste adding carrots, a leek, using Dijon mustard and ham stock instead of veggie, so it's a moveable feast. Delicious.

    Delicious! I made it last night and as suggested I let it bubble away for 90 minutes. The meat just fell off the bone. Served it with some mash, carrots and brocoli. Will certainly make it again.

    Great recipe! This has become one of our family favourites. I added some garlic and mushrooms into the sauce, and it was super tasty.

    This is one of my favourite recipes as it's so adaptable. I use almost any cut of chicken with it (thigh is my favourite). I usually just a bit less mustard and honey than suggested, and swap the onion for carrots.

    Delicious recipe and so easy. I forgot to buy parsnips, so added baby new potatoes at the start of the 90 minutes cooking time. They were perfectly tender and the chicken was literally falling off the bone. I followed other people's advice and only used 1 tbsp of honey. Perfect!! Just rustled up some green veggies to go with it as I'd already taken care of the potatoes!!

    Delicious! I have a sweet tooth, so this dish was perfect for me. Very easy to make. May be a little too sweet for some though.
