    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Put the chicken thighs in a large deep baking tray, drizzle over 1 tbsp olive oil and season. Roast for 15 mins.
    2. Boil the potatoes in a large pan of boiling water for 10 mins. Add the carrots and parsnips to the pan and boil for a further 5 mins; drain.
    3. Put a sachet of the stuffing mix into a heatproof bowl. Pour over 400ml boiling water and mix well. Leave to stand for 5 mins. Roll the stuffing into 12-14 golf-ball-sized balls.
    4. Remove the chicken tray from the oven and add the veg and stuffing balls. Drizzle with the remaining oil and season the veg. Roast for 25-30 mins until the roast potatoes are golden and crunchy, the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
    5. Meanwhile, add the peas to a pan of boiling water and cook for 5 mins until tender.
    6. Put the gravy granules into a heatproof jug and pour over 280ml boiling water. Whisk with a fork until smooth. Add more water if you prefer a thinner gravy. Serve with the roast chicken and veg.
