Ingredients
12-14 meaty pieces of chicken
3 large carrots
2 parsnips
1 medium sized swede ( a kind of turnip)
8 small white onion or 3 large ones
1/2 cup finely diced large onion
3 stalks flour seasoned with salt and pepper
6 tbsps butter or margarine
salt
2 cups water or more
4 cm (1 1/2 inch) piece of cinnamon stick

Method
Skin carrots, parsnips, swede and onions. Leave onions whole,if small; if large, cut each into quarters. Halve the carrots, parsnips and swede lengthwise, and then cut each piece in 5 cm(2 inch) lengths.
Dredge chicken pieces in seasoned flour. Heat 2 tbsp butter in large saucepan which is not too deep, and fry as many pieces of floured chicken as pan can accommodate. Cover pan for 10 minutes or so, to brown the other side. Remove browned chicken to platter and brown the rest of the chicken, adding a little more butter.
Heat remaining butter in pan, fry the diced onion till soft, then add carrots, parsnips, swede and chicken pieces. Mix well together and then add 2 cups of water, celery and cinnamon stick. Add more more water, if necessary, and thicken with plain flour made into a thin paste with cold water, if a thicker gravy is desired. Test for taste before serving.
