Method

step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6. Heat a large, ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Add a glug of olive oil, followed by the chicken legs (1 pack) (skin-side down) and pancetta (65 g). Cook for 10 minutes, undisturbed, until golden brown.
step 2
Tip in the cooking paste (1 pack) followed by the mushroom soup (1 tin) and 200ml of water. Transfer to the oven and cook for 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
step 3
Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan filled with seasoned hot water to the boil. Add the parsnips (500 g) and potatoes (2) and cook for 10-12 minutes, until completely soft. Drain, then return to the pan and stir in the butter (50 g). Mash together with a potato masher and slowly add the milk (100 ml) to create a creamy, smooth consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
step 4
Spoon the parsnip mash onto three plates and serve topped with the chicken and sauce from the pan, finished with a scattering of fresh parsley (10 g), if you like.
