Method

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large pan and brown the chicken thighs for 8 minutes, skin-side down first. Lift out.

    Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes, then stir in the tomatoes and cook for 4 minutes until they break down.

  3. 3

    Return the chicken to the pan with the chicken stock, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the carrots and potatoes and cook, covered, for a further 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through with no pink remaining and the vegetables are tender.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, cook the rice according to the pack instructions, and serve the stew with it.
