Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole over a high heat and fry the chicken for 5-7 mins until golden all over. Remove to a plate and set aside.
- Melt the butter in the same pan, then reduce the heat to medium and fry the onion and carrots for 5 mins until just starting to soften. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 2 mins more. Slowly add the stock, stirring as you go. Add the mustard and vinegar and cook over a low-medium heat for 30 mins, stirring regularly. Season to taste, then add the peas and cook for 5 mins more. Stir in the cream.
- Make the dumplings by mixing the flour with the baking powder, suet or butter, chives (if using) and ½ tsp salt. Swiftly stir in 8-10 tbsp water using a cutlery knife, then bring the dough together using your hands - it should be firm and pliable. Divide into eight equal-sized pieces, weighing for accuracy if you like. Nestle the dumplings on top of the stew, then cover with the lid and cook for 15 mins over a gentle simmer. Remove the lid and slide the pan under a hot grill for 5-10 mins until the dumplings are puffed up and golden brown. Ladle into bowls to serve.

Give everything a good stir to mix well, then dot the butter over the chicken pieces and season well. Cover the whole tin with foil and bake for 30 mins.
- Remove the foil and bake for 20-30 mins more until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, and the vegetables are tender.
- Heat the grill to high. Put the tin under the grill for a few minutes to crisp up the chicken skin, if needed, being careful not to let the asparagus catch. Serve straight from the tin, or on a platter, with crusty bread to mop up the juices.

SPRING CHICKEN AND ASPARAGUS
My co-workers and I like to exchange recipes and cook for each other at least once a month . This is one of Georgia's favorites and it is delicious. I like to make it in May when fresh asparagus is in the roadside stands in southwest Michigan - nothing sweeter. Georgia credits this recipe to Taste of Home and Donna Lohnes of Wooster, Ohio.
