Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based pan with a lid. Season the chicken and brown all over. Remove the chicken to a plate and cook the onion and bacon for 5 mins until softened and lightly coloured.

  • step 2

    Return the chicken to the pan, and add the remaining ingredients, except the crème fraîche and pesto, along with plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Bring to the boil, then cover and gently simmer for 30-40 mins until the potatoes are tender and chicken cooked through.

  • step 3

    Stir in the crème fraîche and pesto. Serve with some crusty bread for mopping up the sauce, if you like.

Really nice recipe, the only thing I'd change is to add the greens at the end, for the last maybe 3 minutes and after the chicken is cooked. Putting them in so early meant they were overcooked and brownish, rather than green, vibrant and crunchy.

Made this twice, but the first time I didn't add the pesto-and actually preferred it that way!

Lovely. So easy to make. Left out the bacon and added some celery, garlic & leeks and at step 2 put it all in the slow cooker for about 4 hours. 2 year old seemed to love it, the harshest critic there is!

I substituted the potato and carrot for sweet potato and squash, and the spring greens for cavolo nero (as they were reduced in the supermarket and ready shredded and chopped so a real time saver!) I also used chicken that was picked off the Sunday roast carcass, rather than whole thighs, and left…

So basically, you made a totally different meal then. Nice.
