Serves 4
4 chicken thigh/leg pieces skinned (or chicken fillets)
1tin tomatoes chopped
1 lge onion chopped (I prefer largish pieces)
1-2 peppers (red, green, yellow or orange)
2 tblspn tomato puree in 1/2pt (250lms) water or 1/2pt (250mls) passata
1 lge clove garlic
1 tspn mixed dried herbs or 1 tblspn. chopped fresh
3-4 olives per person (back, green or both) I usually throw a few more in as I like them.
glass of white wine (optional)
In a large saucepan, fry the onions until softened but not brown in a little olive or veg. oil or spray oil.
Add all the other ingredients, cover with a lid, bring to the boil then cook on a low heat for an hour or so until the chicken is cooked.
Serve with rice, (I like the 3 wild rice variety) or new potatoes but a green veg or two is better.
This goes well with endives(chicory) and/or courgettes.
For endives and courgettes: I cut them in half lengthways. Melt a tspn of low fat marg in a frying pan. Place the endives and/or courgettes cut side down, sprinkle with a small pinch of LO-Salt and lots of pepper then sweat them for 15-20 mins. If they start to dry out add a small ammount of water, a tblspn at a time just to stop them burning.
