Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Remove the top and bottom from the carrot (no need to peel!) and slice thinly into rounds. Chop the potato into 1cm pieces (no need to peel!). Trim the tops from the green beans and chop into thirds.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium-high heat. Once the oil is nice and hot, add in the diced chicken and stir-fry until browned on the outside, 5 mins. Add the onion and carrot, stir and cook until the veggies are starting to soften, 4-5 mins. Add the white wine vinegar, cook until evaporated, 1 minute. Add the garlic and flour, stir and cook for 1-2 mins.
Add the stock pot, water (see ingredients for amount) and potato to the pan, stir and bring to the boil. Cover with a lid (or foil), lower the heat to medium and cook until you can easily slip a knife through the potato, 15-20 mins. Stir the beans into the mixture 10 mins into the cooking time. Stir every few mins to make sure there is no catching.
While the stew is simmering, finely chop the parsley (stalks and all). Pick the tarragon leaves from their stalks and finely chop (discard the stalks).
Once the potato and beans are cooked, stir through the crème fraîche and wholegrain mustard and bring back to a simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If the stew is a little thick, just add a splash more water.
If the kids are not keen on herbs, serve them the herb-free stew now, then stir the parsley and tarragon into the remaining stew and serve to the adults! Enjoy!
