Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Toss the chicken pieces with the flour and some salt and pepper, to coat them - it's easy to do this in a plastic food bag.
- Heat the oil in a casserole with a lid. Brown the chicken pieces well on all sides - you'll need to do this in batches. Remove all the pieces to a plate, and tip the onions, carrot, lardons, bay and thyme into the pan. Cook gently for 10 mins until the onion is softened.
- Return the chicken pieces, with any juices that have collected on the plate. Then pour in the red wine, 250ml water and tomato paste and crumble in the stock cube. Add a splash more of water if you need, until the chicken is almost covered. Bring to the boil, then cover with a lid and bake in the oven for 20 mins. Remove the lid and bake for another 10 mins while you make the dumplings.
- Rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until it feels like fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the herbs with ½ tsp salt and some pepper. Drizzle over 150ml water, and stir in quickly with a cutlery knife to form a light dough. Use floured hands to shape into ping pong sized balls.
- Place the dumplings on top of the stew and bake for 20 mins more until the dumplings are cooked through.

Tips:
- Use a good-quality English Ale: The ale will add a lot of flavor to the casserole, so it's important to use one that you enjoy drinking. A dark ale, such as a stout or porter, will give the casserole a richer flavor, while a lighter ale, such as a pale ale or amber ale, will give it a more delicate flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken: The chicken should be cooked through, but not overcooked, or it will become dry and tough. Cook the chicken for about 15-20 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The vegetables in the casserole will add flavor, texture, and color. Feel free to use any vegetables that you like, or that you have on hand. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
- Make sure the casserole is bubbling before you bake it: This will help to ensure that the casserole is cooked through evenly.
- Serve the casserole with a side of crusty bread or mashed potatoes: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Chicken casserole with English ale and Stilton and walnut dumplings is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The chicken is tender and juicy, the vegetables are flavorful, and the dumplings are light and fluffy. The casserole is also very easy to make, and it can be prepared in about an hour.
