Step 1

Instruction

Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Remove the top and bottom from the carrot (no need to peel!) and slice thinly into rounds. Chop the potato into 1cm pieces (no need to peel!). Trim the tops from the green beans and chop into thirds.

Step 2

Instruction

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium-high heat. Once the oil is nice and hot, add in the diced chicken and stir-fry until browned on the outside, 5 mins. Add the onion and carrot, stir and cook until the veggies are starting to soften, 4-5 mins. Add the white wine vinegar, cook until evaporated, 1 minute. Add the garlic and flour, stir and cook for 1-2 mins.

Step 3

Instruction

Add the stock pot, water (see ingredients for amount) and potato to the pan, stir and bring to the boil. Cover with a lid (or foil), lower the heat to medium and cook until you can easily slip a knife through the potato, 15-20 mins. Stir the beans into the mixture 10 mins into the cooking time. Stir every few mins to make sure there is no catching.
