Method
- Heat 1 tsp olive oil in the casserole. Add the chicken and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until browned all over. Transfer to a plate.

- Return the chicken to the pan and add the mustard and stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

If you like, add crushed garlic at the end of step 2 and serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and a handful of fresh parsley. You could also use similar quantities of other vegetables to those used in the recipe – cauliflower, broccoli and mushrooms would all work well.
This makes enough for one person for 2 fast days. Cool the rest, cover and chill or freeze. Reheat in a pan until hot.
