Directions
Sauté the aromatics
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, celery, and carrot (if using). Sauté for 5–7 minutes until soft and translucent.
Brown the chicken
- Add the chicken thigh pieces to the pot. Cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. No need to fully cook through at this stage.
Add spices and stock
- Stir in thyme, turmeric, and bay leaf. Season with a little salt and pepper. Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
Simmer and soften veg
- Add the cauliflower and courgette. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes on low heat until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are tender.
Add greens and finish
- Stir in spinach or kale. Cook for another 3–5 minutes until wilted. Add lemon juice if using. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Serve
- Remove the bay leaf. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
