Stovetop basque-style chicken
(Serves: Prep: 5 mins - Cook: 35 mins - Serves: 4)
Ingredients
- 250ml (1 cup) Massel Chicken-style Liquid Stock
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 large chicken thigh fillets, halved
- 1 large brown onion, halved, thickly sliced
- 2 fresh or dried bay leaves
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 125ml (1/2 cup) dry white wine
- 400g can diced tomatoes
- 150g shaved triple-smoked ham, torn into large pieces
- 110g tub marinated split green olives, drained
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
Method
1 Heat half the oil in a large deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes each side or until browned. Transfer to a heatproof plate.
2 Heat remaining oil in the same pan over medium heat. Cook onion, bay leaves and garlic, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until onion starts to brown. Add wine and cook for 1 minute or until liquid reduces by half. Add tomato and stock, and bring to a simmer. Return chicken to pan with ham and cook, covered, for 10 minutes. Uncover and cook for 5-7 minutes or until chicken is tender.
3 Sprinkle with olives and basil. Serve with microwave brown rice.
