MAKE THE MASH
Place the Potato pieces into a pot of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork, season, and cover.
GOLDEN CHICKY
Boil the kettle. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel. Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chicken until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside. Dilute the stock with 200ml of boiling water.
TAKING STOCK
Place the Cornflour in a small bowl and mix in 1 tbsp of the diluted stock until a runny paste. Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the carrot pieces and the diced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting halfway).
WINE O’CLOCK
When the Carrot & onion are browned, add the tomato paste and ½ the chopped thyme, and fry until fragrant, 30-60 seconds (shifting constantly). Add the diluted stock, the slurry, the wine, and the browned Chicken. Bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, 12-15 minutes. Season to taste.
VOILA!
Plate up the mash. Side with the Chicken stew and all the saucy goodness. Garnish with the remaining thyme.
