Quick chicken chasseur cushy style

Chicken



Any part of the chicken can be used for this recipe

i buy the chicken bits from tesco £2.99 perfect frozen that is







Ingredients


4 chicken breast fillets cut into bite sized pieces or 8 chicken thighs
2 tablespoons of oil
1 large or 2 small onion chopped
3 garlic cloves chopped finely
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
1 glass white wine
2 tablespoons of tomato paste
1 chicken stock cube
250g button mushrooms
Fresh mixed herbs
Salt and pepper to flavour


Heat oven to 200ºC or gas number 6.


To Prepare



Heat oil in a deep based oven proof casserole dish. A cast iron dish is ideal. Brown the chicken thighs or lightly cook the breast fillets. When the chicken is lightly brown add the onions and garlic and cook slowly until the onions are clear. Add the can of tomatoes, the glass of white wine, the tomato paste and stock cube and heat through. Place the lid on and put into the preheated oven for one hour. Add the cleaned button mushrooms, the mixed herbs and replace into the oven for a further thirty minutes. Some people like a browned top to their chicken Chasseur in which case do not replace the lid of the casserole dish for the last thirty minutes of the cooking time. Season to taste and serve. Thicken with gravy if required.
