Method

You can't beat a one-pot dish for a quick and easy supper that doesn't leave you with a pile of washing up. Tender chicken thighs, new potatoes and bacon cooked in cider are the ultimate in comfort food.

  1. Heat the oil in a large, shallow pan and fry the onion and bacon for 3-4 minutes until tender. Add the chicken thighs and fry until browned and the juices run clear when a skewer is inserted.
  2. Pour over the cider or wine and crumble over the stock cube. Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Add the new potatoes, cook them for a further 10 minutes, then add the green beans and cook for a final 5 minutes until everything is tender.
