Pot-roast chicken
  1. Preheat oven to 160°C. Place the chicken and flour in a bowl. Toss to coat. Heat half the oil in a heavy-based casserole pan over medium heat. Add half the chicken. Cook for 2-3 mins each side or until golden. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken.

  2. Heat the remaining oil in the pan. Add the leek and mushrooms. Cook, stirring, for 2 mins or until leek softens. Add the wine and cook, scraping the base of the pan, for 1 min. Combine stockpot and boiling water in a jug. Pour over leek mixture. Add tomato paste, mustard, garlic and half the thyme. Stir to combine.

  3. Return the chicken to the pan. Cover and bake for 1 1/4 hours or until the chicken is cooked through. Uncover and bake for a further 15 mins or until the sauce thickens. Season to taste with pepper. Serve with mashed potato, green beans and remaining thyme. Recipe & Image developed by Coles Magazine and taste.com.au
