  • Heat the oil in large pan, soften the onions, add carrots and celery. Cook for 5 mins.
  • Toss chicken in flour, add to pan and brown meat. Then add potatoes, rosemary, thyme and stock.
  • Heat until simmering and cook in the oven for 45 mins.
  • Mix the cornflour with four tbsp water to make a paste. Stir into the casserole add the beans and cook for a further 10mins.
  • However I adapted this to make in my beloved slow cooker - so I used more stock and I used dried beans (as they were cooked over 8 hours).
  • Serve with crusty bread.

    What 1 Other has said

    • Overall a very nice dish - I substituted tarragon for the thyme and rosemary for a more subtle flavour. Was not sure about the combination of butter beans and potatoes - both quite starchy and would probably use mushrooms instead of the potatoes next time. A dash of white wine in the stock rounds it off nicely.
