Ingredients

1 tbsp canola oil 15 mL
2 shallots, finely chopped 80 g
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 dried chili peppers, minced 0.2 g
4 chicken thighs, boneless, skinless, cut into bite-size pieces 260 g
2 stalks celery, diced 140 g

1/3 cup white wine 85 mL

Before you start

Keep the serving dishes in the oven at the lowest setting so they are warm when you serve.

Method

  1. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Prepare the vegetables: Finely chop the shallot and garlic; mince the chili pepper; peel the parsnip and carrot, then dice them; dice the celery.
  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over low heat. Add the shallot and garlic, then cook until translucent, 3-4 min. Remove them and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add the chicken pieces and cook 2-3 min over low heat. Add the chili pepper and vegetables, then cook 2-3 min with stirring. Put the shallot and garlic back into the pan. Add the white wine.
  4. Cook, covered, over low heat, until the vegetables are soft, about 25 min, checking occasionally that the mixture stays moist. Add a little water if necessary.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste then serve in the warmed dishes.

Delicious! I had to substitute sweet potato for the parsnip, but I prefer their flavour anyhow. The cooking method was very straightforward once the initial frying was done, and I could leave it to simmer away whilst we ate our first course. Very tasty, very easy - what's not to like.
