How to make Tuscan chicken
Tuscan chicken
Serves 2
A pinch of salt and black pepper
600g chicken thighs with skin on
2 tbs plain flour
1 tbs light olive or vegetable oil
1⁄2 onion, sliced
1 large leek, sliced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 large sprig of rosemary plus a few leaves for garnish
½ chicken stock cube, plus 300ml boiling water
150ml Eisberg Chardonnay
1 lemon
100g mixed olives
Place the flour onto a plate and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the chicken thighs in the flour to coat on all sides.
Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan and fry the chicken pieces for about 5 minutes, or until lightly browned on all sides. Remove from the pan and place on a plate.
Add the onion, leeks and garlic to the pan and fry over a medium low heat for 2-3 minutes then add the rosemary, stock and Eisberg Chardonnay. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from the lemon and add to the pan, then squeeze in the juice of half the lemon.
Bring to a simmer then turn down the heat, loosely cover and cook gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the olives and cook for a further 10 minutes. Check that the chicken is cooked through. If your pan is heatproof, place it under the grill for a minute to crisp the chicken skin.
Sprinkle over a few chopped rosemary leaves and serve with some crusty bread to mop up the juice.
