Janice's favourite recipes...

Chicken Cacciatore


Looking for something real quick and tasy for dinner tonight? It doesnt take much ingredients. This is a favourite in the Johnson household!


 


Ingredients
1 onion , finely chopped
2 garlic cloves , crushed
olive oil
2 x 400g tins cherry tomatoes
4 tbsp mascarpone or cream cheese
a handful basil
6 chicken breasts , skin on


Method
Heat the oven to 190C.  Fry the onion and garlic in 3 tbsp oil until softened but not coloured. Add the tomatoes, season, then simmer for 10-15 minutes or until thick and glossy. Take off the heat and stir in the mascarpone and half the basil, roughly torn.
Heat a little oil in a pan and fry the chicken on both sides until golden. Transfer to a baking dish and pour over the sauce. Cook for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Scatter over the rest of the basil.


Serve with short pasta, roasted potatoes or as I prefer some warm italian bread, enjoy!
