This is a recipe I improvised when I was yearning for a chicken casserole like my Grandma used to make. You can taste the healthy goodness it! Perfect supper food for this time of year! I love this served with grilled asparagus and a baked potato.

Method

Start by heating the butter and oil in a large saucepan. Add the chopped vegetables and soften.step 2
Add the diced chicked and fresh sage leaves (not the stalks), and cook until golden brownstep 3
Remove from heat and add flour to soak up all the veg and chicken juices, then add water, chicken stock, and a bay leaf. Season to taste, and transfer to a casserole dish.step 4

You could also add sweetcorn about halfway through the oven cooking time for some extra taste and colour, and it also works really well if you add dumplings!
