  • Now, Sprinkle with flour and stir the flour into the vegetables to coat and cook for 1 minute or so.
  • Deglaze by pouring the sherry, vegetable stock and milk. ( you can replace the milk with cream for a richer result.) stir to combine.
  • Add the chicken pieces back into the casserole and bring to simmer. Cover with a lid and let it simmer, over low heat, for a further 20-25 minutes or until the chicken pieces are fully cooked.
  • Check the seasoning, and the texture of the sauce. If too thick add a drop of water to loosen the sauce.
  • Sprinkle with chopped parsley or fresh herbs and serve immediately with boiled rice.
