Instructions

  1. Place chicken and 2 tablespoons of extra flour in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
  2. Lightly spray a 2-litre flameproof, non-stick casserole dish with oil and heat over medium heat. Cook onion, carrots, celery and potatoes, stirring, for 6-8 minutes or until just soft. Add garlic and mustard and cook, stirring, for a further 2 minutes.
  3. Add chicken and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes. Add stock, rosemary, thyme and bay leaf. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Combine cornflour and a little liquid from casserole in a small bowl to form a thin paste. Stir back into dish. Cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, combine remaining 1 cup (150g) flour, yoghurt and tarragon in a small bowl until a dough forms. Divide dough into 8 and roll into balls. Arrange dumplings on surface of stew. Cook, covered, for 10-15 minutes or until dumplings have puffed up and are cooked through.
  5. Sprinkle stew with extra tarragon and serve with beans.
