- Add in the stock bring to the boil and pour onto the chicken.
- If your casserole dish is flameproof put it on the simmering plate and bring everything to the boil.
- Transfer to the simmering oven.
- If your dish is not flameproof put the casserole in the roasting oven for 15 min till the mix is piping warm. Transfer to the simmering oven.
- Cook for 45 min to 1 hour till the chicken is cooked.

- Keep hot.
- Add in the cream to the cooking liquor. Bring to the boil and bubble till reduced by half.
- Stir in the watercress and season to taste. Spoon over the chicken.

- I serve this chicken dish at Easter when homegrown watercress has a fresh distinctive flavour. The green sauce looks attractive with a selection of new vegetables.
