Chicken stew

This dish is another favourite with young children. I normally use chicken drumsticks especially if cooking for children but you can use any cut of chicken. I allocate one piece of chicken per person.

 Ingredients

Chicken drumsticks (1 piece per person)

4 potatoes

2 tomatoes

½ yellow onion

Green peas     

Mixed herbs

Salt and pepper

Wash, dry and season the drumsticks with salt, pepper and a dash of sesame oil.

Fry the chicken until slightly brown. Remove from the pan and keep aside.

Lightly fry the potatoes and keep aside.

Lightly fry the potatoes and keep aside.

Add the carrots and fry for a few minutes. 

Put in the potatoes and mix thoroughly. 

Add 200 mls of water, mixed herbs, salt and pepper.

Put the chicken pieces on top of the vegetables. Bring to the boil and then lower the heat. Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked.

When the meat and root vegetables are cooked, add the tomatoes and green peas. Simmer for another 10 minutes or until the peas are cooked.

Dish up and serve as it is or with rice. If eating during confinement, you can add one teaspoon of Benedictine Dom.
