Chicken Marengo

Ingredients

• Olive oil 1 tbsp
• Stock cubes 1
• Fresh parsley
• Mushrooms 300 g
• Chicken drumsticks 4
• Olives 100 g
• Passata 500 g

Method

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.
5. Cover and simmer for 40 mins until the chicken is tender.
6. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with pasta and a salad, or mash and green veg, if you like.
