Step 6

Season the chicken portions. Heat a roasting tin or casserole on the hob and add 2 tsp olive oil and place the chicken skin side down. Leave it untouched for a good 5 minutes so that the skin crisps.

Step 7

Set aside. Add the bacon to the pan, let it colour then add the leeks, thyme and garlic. Soften for a few minutes then stir in the flour.

Step 8

Add a splash of wine stirring to remove any flour lumps, then pour in the stock.

Step 9

Add the beans and return the chicken to the pan so that the skin sits proud.

Transfer to an oven (200, 180 fan) for 35 minutes.
