Indulge in a comforting and delicious chicken casserole, adored by Taste.com.au members.
Ingredients:
  • 9.20 gm olive oil
  • 8 chicken lovely legs
  • 1 large brown onion, halved, thinly sliced
  • 3 celery sticks, trimmed, cut into 2cm-thick slices
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 200g button mushrooms, thickly sliced
  • 2 x 400g cans diced Italian tomatoes
  • 1 chicken style stock cube
  • 150g (1 cup) frozen broad beans, thawed, peeled
  • 20.00 ml fresh thyme leaves
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 200g dried spiral pasta, optional, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 180°C and warm oil in a non-stick pan. Sear chicken until golden brown all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a 2L ovenproof casserole dish.
  • Sauté onion and celery in a frying pan until soft. Stir in garlic and mushroom, cooking until the mushroom is tender. Add tomato and stock cube, bring to a boil, then combine with chicken in a casserole dish.
  • 1. Cover the casserole dish tightly with foil and bake in the oven for 35 minutes until the chicken is tender. 2. Add broad beans and half of the thyme and cook for an additional 10 minutes until the beans are tender. 3. Remove from the oven, season with pepper to taste, and enjoy!
  • Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly.
  • Transfer the flavorful casserole into a spacious serving bowl. Garnish generously with the remaining fragrant thyme before serving alongside pasta, if preferred.
