Chicken & Parsnip Bake

[Alexanders mummy]

This is very easy to make & the flavours work well together.

4 chicken thighs
1 onion
3 medium sized parsnips
2 tbsp apple sauce
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
75g unsalted butter
75g breadcrumbs
1/4 tsp paprika
Olive oil

Preheat oven to 180c.
Peel the parsnips & boil for 15 mins.
When cooked mash with the apple sauce.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan.
Cook the chicken thighs & onion in the frying pan till cooked through.
Place a layer of the parsnip/apple mix in a casserole dish,then sprinkle with some of the nutmeg,lemon juice & dabs of the butter.
Repeat layering until all the mixture has gone.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top & then the paprika.
Place in the oven & cook for about 25 mins.
I cut Alexanders chicken thigh up for him & placed a dollop of the parsnip/apple with it.

I serve this with baked potatos.

This sounds lovely and would like to have a go at making it but am I missing something with the layering process? Where does the chicken go?

Thanks x

[Alexanders mummy]

Sorry should have said the chicken is just served alongside in strips.
