Method
Heat the coconut oil on a medium heat in a stewing pot or large saucepan. Once heated, add the onion and garlic to sweat for a couple of minutes.
After no more than 5 minutes, pour in the chicken stock and stir in the rosemary and thyme leaves.
Now add in the chicken thighs and bring to the boil, gradually adding in the carrots, parsnips and leeks.
Simmer on a medium-low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste.
Using a ladle, serve up the stew with each chicken thigh in a bowl and enjoy.
Serving suggestion: serve with mashed potatoes and garden peas (optional)
Note: you can cool and freeze any extra portions of this dish. Make sure you consume it within 2 months and always thaw the chicken at room temperature. Always reheat thoroughly in a pan.
