  3. Add chicken thighs, carrots, potatoes and garlic to the pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper and toss.
  4. Cook for 1 hour or until chicken is cooked and a knife can easily be inserted into the potatoes.

Gravy

  2. In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of Natrel Lactose Free. Add to the saucepan. Reduce to a simmer and add 1 cup of Natrel Lactose Free. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
