Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 chicken thigh fillets
  • 4 chicken drumsticks
  • 4 cloves of garlic finely chopped

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200˚C.
  2. Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof pan over medium-high heat.

  3. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes each side, until golden, then add the garlic, oregano and finely chopped rosemary, and cook for another 2 minutes.

  4. Pour in the white wine and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced, then add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.

Notes
  • I used a jar of home preserved cherry tomatoes in tomato puree from the larder.
  • You can use chicken marylands, chicken thigh fillets, chicken thighs and/or drumsticks with skin on or off, as you choose.
