  • 12 skinless chicken pieces - a mixture of thighs and drumsticks on the bone, and halved chicken breasts
  • 3 tbsp plain flour
  • 2 tbsp sunflower oil
  •  2 onions, sliced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 200g bacon lardons, smoked or unsmoked, or streaky rashers, snipped

  • 2 tbsp chopped mixed herb - try parsley, thyme and sage or chives

  • Heat the oil in a casserole with a lid. Brown the chicken pieces well on all sides – you’ll need to do this in batches. Remove all the pieces to a plate, and tip the onions, carrot, lardons, bay and thyme into the pan. Cook gently for 10 mins until the onion is softened.

Add a splash more of water if you need, until the chicken is almost covered. Bring to the boil, then cover with a lid and bake in the oven for 20 mins. Remove the lid and bake for another 10 mins while you make the dumplings.
  • Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until it feels like fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the herbs with ½ tsp salt and some pepper. Drizzle over 150ml water, and stir in quickly with a cutlery knife to form a light dough. Use floured hands to shape into ping pong sized balls.
