Budget-friendly chicken dish with mashed potatoes and green beans for a quick, delicious weeknight meal.
Ingredients:
  • 27.30 gm olive oil
  • 8 chicken drumsticks, skin removed
  • 4 rashers rindless shortcut bacon rashers, roughly chopped
  • 1 medium red onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 200g button mushrooms, sliced
  • 382.50 gm chicken style liquid stock
  • 82.50 ml reduced-fat thickened cooking cream
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh chives
  • Mashed potato, to serve
  • Steamed green beans, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of oil until shimmering. Cook the chicken, turning occasionally, for about 5 minutes until it turns golden brown. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate.
  • In the same pan, heat the rest of the oil, then add the bacon and onion. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until the onion softens and the bacon turns golden. Stir in the garlic and mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are nicely browned.
  • Place the chicken back into the pan, pour in the stock, and generously season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally, until it is fully cooked. Take the pan off the heat and stir in cream and chives. Serve alongside mashed potatoes and green beans.
