10 stepsStep 1
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Peel and chop onion, carrots, swede and parsnip into bite sized chunks (around 20mm x 20mm). Then, wash and quarter the new potatoes.

Cut the chicken thighs in half, strip and chop rosemary and crush the garlic.

Step 4
Place the mixture in a roasting tray, in a hot oven, at 200 degrees for 15 minutes.
Step 5
Remove from the oven and stir well. Add a little water if the vegetable or chicken has become too dry. Pop the tray in the oven and bake for further 15 minutes at 180 degrees.
Step 6
Meanwhile, peel and finely chop shallots, then gently fry in butter without allowing them to brown.
Step 7
When the shallots are soft, add them to stuffing mix and hot water as per instructions on the packet.
Step 8
Leave to stand for 5 minutes then divide into 8 stuffing balls.
Step 9
Place the stuffing on a separate roasting tray alongside the chicken and vegetable bake.
Step 10
When stuffing balls are browned, remove both items from the oven and serve.
