Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the olives. Finely chop the chives (use scissors if easier). Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel). Pop the chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle over half the mixed herbs then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. 

2

When the oven is hot, roast the potatoes on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through. Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, lay the chicken thighs flat in the pan, season with salt and pepper. Fry until the chicken is browned, 4-5 mins each side. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

3

Once the chicken has browned, transfer it to a plate and cover to keep warm (you will finish cooking it later). Pop the pan back on high heat with a little more oil if needed. Add the mushrooms to the pan and fry until browned, 5-6 mins, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and stir-fry for another 30 secs.

4

Next, add the passata, red wine stock paste, water and sugar for the sauce (see ingredients). Stir in the olives and remaining mixed herbs. Bring to the boil, then add the chicken back into the pan. Lower the heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through, 7-8 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

5

Once the chicken is cooked and the sauce thickened, remove the pan from the heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Stir in half the chives.

6

Transfer the chicken alla cacciatore to your plates and sprinkle the remaining chives on top. Serve the roast potatoes on the side. Enjoy!
