CHUNKY CHICKEN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Cut the flaps from the thighs and cube the meat, leaving some meat on the bone. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and the oil to a large stock pot on medium-high heat. When the butter is melted and oil is hot, add the chicken thigh bones and cubed thigh meat. Brown on all sides, then remove the meat to a plate. Lower the heat slightly and add the onions, thyme and bay leaves. Season onions with salt and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is tender, about 4 minutes more. Stir the chicken back into the pot and add the stock. Raise the heat, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Add the potatoes and frozen corn and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, make a paste with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the flour, in a small bowl and set aside. When the potatoes are tender remove the thyme sprigs and the bay leaves. Lower the heat and add the milk, cream and the flour paste in bits. Stir to mix and allow the flour to blend into the chowder. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Transfer the chowder to a serving bowl and spritz with lemon before serving.
• Cook's Note: Don't remove the bones from the soup. They have tasty morsels of chicken that you'll want to savor for the entire chowder experience.

• Stir-fry it until it is white all over, then add the mushrooms and continue to stir-fry until the chicken is golden in places and the mushrooms cooked.
• Add the garlic, stir for 1 minute then turn out the heat.
• In a separate, preferably nonstick, saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the flour.
• Continue to stir for 3 minutes over a fairly low heat.
• Mix together the stock and milk.
• Pour this gradually onto the flour, whisking all the time to avoid lumps.
• Allow to cook over a low heat for around 5 minutes, whisking frequently.
• Add the parsley, season with salt and nutmeg.
• If you find the sauce is too thick, gradually whisk in a little extra stock or milk.
• It should just coat the back of a spoon.
• Now add this to the pan with the chicken and mushrooms, mix and then pour into a pie dish.
• Top with the rolled out pastry- I like to decorate with mushroom shapes cut out of pastry scraps, and brush with beaten egg.
• Now bake for 20-25 minutes in a hot oven, about 200°C until golden brown and smelling delicious!
• I like to serve this with steamed broccoli and buttered jersey new potatoes.
