Utensils
•Pot with Lid
Instructions
1
- Chop the potatoes into 1cm chunks (peeling optional).
- Trim the carrot and cut diagonally into ½ cm thick slices (no need to peel).
- Trim the parsnip and cut into 1cm rounds.
- Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Roughly chop the parsley.
2
- Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Add the chicken and fry until lightly browned, 3-4 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
- Season with oregano, paprika, salt and pepper.
- Cook for 1 min more.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh. It will still taste delicious once cooked!

4
