Ingredients

2 tablespoon olive oil

1.2 kilogram chicken thigh fillets, cut into thirds (halved if small fillets)

2 medium (240g) carrots, sliced thinly

1 medium (150g) brown onion, chopped

2 clove garlic, crushed

1/4 cup (35g) plain flour

3 cup (750ml) chicken stock, approximately

1 cup (120g) frozen baby peas

Method

1.Heat the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken; cook until browned all over. Add the carrots, onion and garlic; cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes or until starting to soften.
