• Thinly slice leek. Cut broccoli (see ingredients) into small florets, then roughly chop stalk. Finely chop garlic. • In a medium bowl, combine garlic & herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken drumsticks and toss to coat.
Little cooks: Kids can help combine the seasoning and olive oil.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Add chicken drumsticks and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned on all sides, 3-4 minutes. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Transfer chicken drumsticks, leek, chickenstyle stock powder, the water, and a pinch of salt to slow cooker and set cooking temperature to high. • Place lid on slow cooker and cook until chicken is tender, 4-5 hours.
TIP: If you don't have a slow cooker, transfer mixture to an ovenproof saucepan, cover with lid (or tightly with foil) and bake for 25 minutes.
• In the last 30-35 minutes of cook time, remove lid from slow-cooker, then add broccoli. Stir to combine and return lid. Boil the kettle. • Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. Peel potato and cut into bite-sized chunks. • Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. • Add the butter and milk to potato and season with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
• When the stew is ready, stir through baby leaves and cream (see ingredients) until leaves are wilted. Season to taste.
• Divide potato mash between bowls. Top with slow-cooked chicken drumsticks and broccoli. • Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy! Little cooks: Kids can add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the cheese!
