Chicken in Lager

Spray olive oil into pan and heat.

Put in the garlic, quick stir then quickly place in the thighs and fry on both sides in the garlic, place lid on pan and cook for a few minutes.

Add the chopped shallots, carrots and potatoes, stir in with chicken and put the lid on and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Heat oven 190 degrees (170 degrees for fan oven).

Add in the stock cubes and pour in the lager, give the pan a good stir. Bring to boil and turn off hob.

One more stir then place pan with lid into the oven for 45 - 60 minutes. Check that chicken cooked and veg has softened. Add seasoning only if required. The stock will have thickened naturally so there should be no need to thicken the gravy.

Serve with good seasonal greens
