Ingredients

  • Black Kalamata Olive: 100g pitted black kalamata olive
  • Olive Oil: 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Pasta: pasta and a salad, or mash and green veg, to serve (optional)
  • Parsley: chopped parsley, to serve (optional)
  • Passata: 500g jar garlic & herb passata
  • Chicken Stock Cube: 1 chicken stock cube
  • Mushroom: 300g pack cup mushroom, halved
  • Chicken Leg: 4 chicken legs, skin removed

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish and stir-fry the mushrooms until they start to soften. Add the chicken legs and cook briefly on each side to colour them a little.
  2. Pour in the passata, crumble in the stock cube and stir in the olives. Season with black pepper - you shouldn't need salt. Cover and simmer for 40 mins until the chicken is tender. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with pasta and a salad, or mash and green veg, if you like.
