Rustic Chicken Cacciatore: Tender chicken thighs simmered in a rich medley of tomatoes, red wine, olives, and fragrant herbs. Perfectly comforting and bursting with Italian flavour

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 chicken thigh cutlets, skin on and bone in
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 tsp chopped rosemary leaves
• 1 red capsicum, cut into strips
• 1 cup pitted green olives, halved
• 1 cup red wine
• 400g can chopped tomatoes
• 1 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves

Method

1. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel, then season and place, skin-side down, in the pan. Heat oil in a large, deep frypan over medium heat. Cook for 4 minutes or until skin is golden, then turn and cook for a further 1 minute or until browned. Transfer to a plate.
2. Place the pan back on medium heat, add the onion, and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes or until softened. Stir in the garlic and rosemary, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Add the capsicum, olives, and red wine, and let it cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce by half. Mix in the tomato, and chicken stock.
4. Return the chicken, skin-side up, to the pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 12 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
5. Garnish with parsley and serve with polenta, if desired
