Ingredients

  • 8 chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 rashers streaky bacon, chopped
  • 400ml stock
  • 500g bag baby new potatoes, halved
  • 200g pack full fat soft cheese
  • 200g broad beans, podded
  • 200g sweetcorn (frozen, fresh or from a can)
  • 200g cherry tomatoes, halved

Method

STEP 1
Dust the chicken in the flour and some seasoning. Heat the oil in a lidded pan and brown the chicken, in batches if needed, then transfer to a plate. Throw in the bacon and fry for 5 mins, until crisp.

STEP 2
Return the chicken to the pan. Add the stock, cover and simmer for 30 mins, adding the potatoes after 10 mins.

STEP 3
Make sure the chicken is cooked and the potatoes are tender, then stir in the cheese, the rest of the vegetables and some seasoning. Simmer for 5 mins more, uncovered, then serve.

RECIPE TIPS
Chicken thighs make a good-value alternative to breasts, however, if you prefer the white breast meat, then swap for 4 skinless breasts, and simmer for just 20 mins with the potatoes.
