If you don’t have time to make the potato cobbler to top this hearty chicken stew, you could just serve it with boiled buttery potatoes. 13oz medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1. Put in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Drain in a colander and mash with a potato masher or put through a potato ricer until smooth.

Leave to cool for 10-15 minutes. 9oz mashed potatoes for the cobbler topping. Any remaining mash can be set aside for another recipe. For the chicken casserole, trim the chicken thighs of any fatty bits and cut each one into four pieces. Season well with salt and pepper.

Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the chicken, in two batches, until lightly browned all over. Transfer to a large flame-proof casserole dish. Put the bacon, onion and celery in the same frying pan used to brown the chicken and fry for 4-5 minutes over a medium-high heat until lightly browned, stirring often. Add the mushrooms and cook for one minute more, stirring.

Tip the vegetables into the casserole with the chicken pieces. Stir in the tomatoes, stock, bay leaf, thyme and carrots. Bring to a simmer on the hob, cover loosely with a lid and cook in the oven for 30 minutes. While the chicken is cooking, finish making the cobbler topping. Put the flour and salt in a large bowl and rub in the butter using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. 9oz mashed potatoes and rub together with the butter and flour. Stir in the milk and mix to form a soft, smooth dough.

Take the chicken out of the oven and season to taste with salt and pepper. You won’t be able to season it again once the topping has been added. Mix the cornflour and water and stir into the casserole. Add the leeks and stir well. Top the chicken mixture with the potato dumplings, overlapping them slightly, so they almost cover the filling.

Brush with a little extra mix to glaze. Season with a little ground black pepper and some sea salt. Return to the oven without a lid for a further 30 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is well risen, fluffy and golden-brown. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.
