Another delicious chicken dish.

Chicken, Artichoke and Broad Bean Stew

Ingredients:
155 g (1 cup)              frozen broad (fava) beans
8 chicken thighs         on the bone (skin removed, optional)
3 tablespoons            seasoned plain (all-purpose)  flour
2 tablespoon              oil
1 large onion             cut into small wedges
125 ml (½ cup)          white wine
310 ml (1 ¼ cup)       chicken stock
2 teaspoons finely     chopped rosemary
350 g (12 oz)             marinated artichokes, well-drained and quartered
800 g                         potatoes, cut into large cubes
3 tablespoons           butter

Preparation:
1. Remove the skins from the broad beans. Coat the chicken in the flour, shaking off the excess. Heat the oil in a saucepan or flameproof casserole dish over medium heat, then brown the chicken in two batches on all sides. Remove and drain on crumpled paper towels.

2. Add the onion to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until soft but not brown. Increase the heat to high, pour in the wine and boil for 2 minutes, or until reduced to a syrup. Stir in 250 ml (1 cup) of the stock and bring just to the boil, then return the chicken to the pan with the rosemary. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered for 45 minutes.

3. Add the artichokes to the pan, increase the heat to high and return to the boil. Reduce to a simmer  and cook, uncovered for 10-15 minutes. Add the beans and cook for a further 5 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, cook the potato in a large saucepan of boiling water for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain, then return to the pan. Add the butter and the remaining stock and mash with a potato masher. Serve on the side of the stew.
