Roast Chicken Thighs with Potatoes, Carrots and Gravy
Makes 2 servings

INGREDIENTS
400 g Chicken thigh, skinless and boneless (Weighed raw. The same piece weighed after cooking has lost water, so the protein per gram is higher and the total would come out about a quarter over.)
400 g Potato (In 3 cm chunks, parboiled for eight minutes first so they roast crisp. Raw, peeled weight.)
200 g Carrot
150 g Red onion
15 g Olive oil
4 cloves, about 12 g Garlic (Unpeeled. Squeeze the soft cloves out into the gravy at the end.)
A small bunch Fresh thyme
200 ml Chicken stock (Made up from a cube or a pot.)
100 g Frozen peas
1 tsp, about 6 g Dijon mustard
To taste Salt

METHOD
1. Heat the oven to 210°C. Parboil the potatoes for eight minutes, drain and shake them rough in the pan.
2. Toss the potatoes, carrot batons, onion wedges and garlic with the oil, thyme and salt on a large tray. Season the thighs and sit them on top.
3. Roast for forty-five minutes, turning the vegetables once, until the chicken is browned and the potato edges are crisp.
4. Move everything to a plate. Pour the stock into the hot tray, scrape the base, squeeze in the garlic and whisk in the mustard over the hob for two minutes to make a thin gravy. Boil the peas for three minutes and serve.

Contains celery and mustard.
Nearly every stock cube and pot lists celery. Home-made stock without it carries no flag.

RECIPE NOTES
Serves two. The parboil is the step that decides whether the potatoes roast or steam under the chicken.
The gravy is stock and pan juices with no flour or fat added, so it is under 10 kcal a serving. The 15 g of oil on the tray is the fat for the whole meal.
