- 250ml chicken stock

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a large ovenproof casserole dish, heat some oil and brown the chicken breasts on both sides. Remove and set aside.

In the same dish, sauté the onion and garlic until softened. Add the carrots and celery, and cook for another 5 minutes.

Stir in the flour, thyme, and mustard, and cook for a minute. Gradually add the chicken stock and milk, stirring continuously until thickened.

Return the chicken to the dish along with the diced ham. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and place in the oven for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings. In a bowl, mix the self-raising flour, butter, mustard, parsley, salt, and pepper until it resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add cold water, a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture comes together as a soft dough.

After 1 hour of cooking, remove the casserole from the oven and increase the temperature to 200°C (400°F). Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling mixture onto the surface of the casserole.
-
Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and cook for another 25-30 minutes, or until the dumplings are golden and cooked through.
