This dish sounds harder than it is to make, and it is guaranteed to impress your guests (and make them think you have a private chef hidden somewhere in your kitchen)! You only need one pot to make it in (so, less to clean up!)  and if there ARE leftovers (there probably won't be) it freezes brilliantly - and to top it off, it's low in calories and gluten free!

Ingredients

  • 12 Chicken thighs or drumsticks (a mix)

  • 3 Tablespoons of Oil for frying

  • 2 David Fresh Onions, finely chopped

  • 4 Garlic cloves, crushed

  • 8 David Fresh Tomatoes, peeled and chopped (try to save the juices!)

  • 2 David Fresh Red Peppers, seeded and sliced

  • 2 Rosemary sprigs, needles chopped

  • 300ml Red wine 

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Season chicken all over with salt and pepper.

  2. In a large sauté pan (or Dutch oven), heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches, add chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a platter as it finishes cooking and set aside.

  3. Add onion, pepper, and garlic and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until softened, about 8 minutes.

  4. Add wine and bring to a simmer. Add tomatoes and reserved juices, along with herb sprigs. Return to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Nestle chicken and any accumulated juices into liquid and vegetables.

  5. Transfer to oven and cook, uncovered, until chicken is fully cooked through and tender and sauce is slightly reduced and thickened, about 30 minutes. Discard herb sprigs. Serve right away, garnishing with minced parsley if desired.

Serving suggestions:

  • For a richer flavour hit try adding 1 cup of chicken stock with the wine.

  • Serve over rice or posho, or with some thick crusty bread

  • Add a bay leaf with the rosemary (just remember to remove it at the end)!
