Chicken Casserole inspired by Mary Berry - Easy Recipe!

Chicken Casserole inspired by Mary Berry
(Serves 4)
Mama Bear’s sister asked how we did our chicken casserole. So we said that as autumn is drawing in, the casserole pot is coming out. It’s a very yummy & easy one to make. Inspired by Mary Berry’s Complete Cookbook @maryberrys_foods we slightly changed the recipe, suitable for our tastebuds 😁
.
2 tbsp sunflower oil
4 chicken portions (legs or thighs) washed & dried with kitchen paper
125g smoked back bacon, cut into strips
250g carrots, 1cm thickly sliced
2 celery stalk sticks, thinly sliced
1 very large onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp butter or margarine
30g plain flour
1 ltr chicken stock (low-salt)
1 bouquet garni
Salt & black pepper to taste
4 medium potatoes, peeled & cut into large chunks
Chopped parsley for garnish
* Pre-heat oven at gas mark 3 or equivalent. Heat oil in large flameproof casserole. Add chicken, skin-side down, cook for 10 mins until browned all over. Lift out & set aside. Add bacon, carrots, celery & onion, & cook over high heat, stirring until golden. Lift out with slotted spoon & set aside.
* If no fat left in casserole, add 1 tbsp butter/ margarine. Add flour, cook & stir constantly for 3-5 mins until lightly browned. Gradually pour in chicken stock, stirring until smooth. Add bouquet garni, season with salt & pepper to taste.
* Return the chicken, add potatoes then add the bacon & onion mix to casserole, bring to boil. Cover pot, place in oven & cook for 1 hour & 15 mins until chicken is tender & potatoes cooked. Garnish with parsley & serve hot. Enjoy!

I’m doing this tonight for my tea

[@cafenajatuk8304]

Hope it turned out good for you xx

[@tc204]

Thankyou this is the tastiest meal I've had!

[@cafenajatuk8304]

Thank you - yes Mary Berry is fantastic

[@mjstylez]

I love the process. Can't i use garlic powder or fresh?
Can I use sweet potato?

[@cafenajatuk8304]

You can use either although please be aware it could change the casserole taste. And you can use sweet potato but it will cook more quickly than white potatoes, maybe put it towards the end of the cooking time?

Thank you, what song is this?

Hello - I had shared it already in the description box:

Music is so annoying

[@cafenajatuk8304]

Funny - you are the first to mention it 🥰

[@sevilhepworth5570]

@@cafenajatuk8304 But the recipe is beyond expectations. My husband, who is always complaining about my cooking, didn't say a word this time (which is a compliment) and had a second helping. You saved my day tonight. Thank you!

[@cafenajatuk8304]

Recipe is not mine but for Mary Berry and she does great cooking - I have most of her books. I might make more videos from her books to show how good they are 🙏🌹❤️

[@critchley999]

It is, but there's an option to switch it off as there is no commentary. Peace. Probably why nobody else mentioned it - they just hit the off button.

Looks too soupie

[@cafenajatuk8304]

Sorry about it looking soupy, we like to soak up the sauce with crusty warm bread 😋

[@burt3907]

@@cafenajatuk8304 You'd need a whole loaf of bread. 👎 Try harder next time.

[@cafenajatuk8304]

Exactly - we love our breads 👍🏻
