I have a love and hate relationship with winter. Winter makes me fat because I like to eat meals that make me warm.... namely, hot, greasy, oily foods so I am always happy to find any recipes that are delicious, warm and healthy!
So a few days ago at work, I was off with my friend to buy some lunch (because I never have the time, or rather, time management to make my own lunch) when one of the managers took pity upon me and shared one of his easy and yummy recipes with me. I think his exact words were 'oh you poor thing, going out to buy lunch AGAIN? '
I know that this blog is mainly for sweets and deserts, but this recipe is definitely a keeper so I just had to share! This is the recipe that was given to me by my lovely manager, Mr F. It is simple, easy to make, and warm and hearty for the cold winter nights! Enjoy!
Ingredients
5 x cuts of chicken (chicken breast on the bone and drumstick preferred)
5 x garlic cloves - roughly chopped
1 x whole onion (roughly chopped)
1 x bunch of basil leaves
2 x punnets of cherry tomatoes, cut in halves
2 x baby potato's cut into quarters
1 x large mushroom, chopped
olive oil
salt and pepper
Method
Turn the oven on to 180 degrees Celsius. Now get a deep oven pan, and dollop about 1 or 2 table spoons of olive oil. Dont be shy ;)
Next, scatter the garlic, cherry tomatos, potatos, mushrooms and basil leaves in. Sprinkle a good amount of salt and pepper. Set aside
Heat up a saucepan with some olive oil. Brown your chicken pieces on each side. Once they are nice and brown, pop them on top of the the vegetables you are about to roast. Give it all a good mix with some tongs and pop them in the oven!
Keep them in the oven for about 30 -60mins (depending on how hungry you are). The juice from the tomato's should mix in with the olive oil and create a lovely little sauce!
Now excuse me while I run downstairs to check on my tart shells!
