Chicken Marengo

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish and stir-fry the mushrooms until they start to soften.

  2. Add the chicken legs and cook briefly on each side to colour them a little.

  3. Pour in the passata, crumble in the stock cube and stir in the olives.

  4. Season with black pepper – you shouldn’t need salt. Cover and simmer for 40 mins until the chicken is tender.

  5. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with pasta and a salad, or mash and green veg, if you like.
