  8. Add the shallots, garlic, cabbage and thyme and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the potatoes and cabbage are just coloured.

  9. Add a couple of ladles of the cooking liquor from the chicken then bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  10. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper then stir in the parsley.
