170g ASDA Just Essentials Brown Onions, Sliced
21g ASDA Just Essentials Garlic, Minced
2Tbsp ASDA Just Essentials Plain Flour
300g ASDA Just Essentials Carrots, Peeled & Diced

Method
1
Place a large saucepan over a medium to high heat, add in 1 tablespoon of oil and fry off the diced chicken thighs until browned.
2
Next gently fry off the bacon, onions, carrots and garlic around 7 - 10 minutes in the same saucepan.
3
Once the bacon and chicken is just about cooked and the onions are soft and caramelised, remove the mix from the saucepan and return to the heat.
4
Add the remaining table spoon of oil along with 2 tablespoons of plain flour, work the flour and oil into a roux like paste in the saucepan over a medium heat for around 3 - 5 minutes.
5
Next gently add in the milk in small amounts, vigorously whisking as you do so.
6
Once all the milk is in allow the base sauce to cook out for 3 minutes before adding in the stock.
7
Continue to whisk the sauce as it cooks to prevent catching and lumps forming.
8
Once the sauce has fully cooked out, toss the cooked chicken, bacon & vegetables back in.
9
Allow to simmer away whilst you cook the spaghetti as per pack instructions, then serve.
