Chicken with pear

Magnus LOVED this. The sweetness of the pear and its subtle flavour works well with the chicken, courgette and cauliflower.

Makes 6 portions

You'll need:

1 tblsp vegetable oil
1 onion
half a sprig of thyme leaves (optional)
half a courgette/around 70g roughly chopped
160g cauliflower, cut in chunks
1 pear, roughly chopped
2g grated ginger
100g chicken breast, cut in cubes
4 homemade chicken stockcubes
1 1/4 cup water

Cook the pear in a little water in a separate pan until soft. Reserve.

For the main dish, saute the onion in the oil until transluscent. Add the thyme and ginger with the vegetables and saute. Pop in the stockcubes, chicken and water and simmer until all cooked, around 15-20 minutes. You may have to pour off some of the liquid as the end product may be a little too runny. Add the pear to the chicken and vegetables and blend to a desired consistency
