  3. Scatter over the garlic, carrots, mushrooms, toss together over the heat for 2 minutes, then add the sweet corn and thyme and pour over the stock. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Tips

  • It is cheaper to buy chicken thighs with the skin on and bone in, if you have time to skin and bone them, then choose these. You can use garlic butter to brush the potatoes if you want extra flavour.
