  • 3 tbsp plain flour
  • 2 tbsp sunflower oil
  •  2 onions, sliced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 200g bacon lardons, smoked or unsmoked, or streaky rashers, snipped

  • 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.

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.
