Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. • Roughly chop carrot and celery. • In a medium bowl, combine chicken drumsticks, the plain flour and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Shake off remaining flour and cook chicken drumsticks, turning, until browned on all sides, 3-4 minutes (the chicken will finish cooking in step 3!). Transfer to slow cooker.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot and celery until tender, 3-4 minutes. • Add garlic and garlic & herb seasoning and cook, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Stir through diced tomatoes with garlic & onion, chicken-style stock powder, the brown sugar and water.
• Transfer to slow cooker and set cooking temperature to high. • Place lid on slow cooker and cook, turning drumsticks each hour, until chicken is tender and the meat is falling off the bone, 4 hours. Season to taste.
TIP: No slow cooker? Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Transfer mixture to an ovenproof saucepan, cover with a lid (or tightly with foil). Bake until chicken is tender and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 90 minutes.
• When the stew has 20 minutes remaining, boil the kettle. Peel potato and cut into large chunks. • Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • 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 grated Parmesan cheese, the milk and butter(for the mash) to potato, then season with salt. Mash until smooth and cover to keep warm.
• When the stew is ready, stir through baby leaves and the butter(for the sauce) until leaves are wilted. Season to taste.
TIP: Add a splash of water if the sauce mixture looks too thick.
• Divide mash between bowls. • Top with tender Italian chicken stew to serve. Enjoy!
