| Original recipe uses whole chicken but I often do it with chicken breasts which takes less time to cook.
serves 4-6
1 chicken cut into pieces
2 cloves garlic
5 medium sized tomatoes ghopped
1 red pepper diced
1 green pepper diced
2 courgettes sliced
3 onions diced
1 tbs olive oil
worcester sauce optional
salt pepper
a few basil leaves
Heat the oil in shallow pan, brown the chicken. Remove from pan, drain on kitchen paper and reserve. Gently cook the onions until transluscent , add the garlic and pepper and courgettes cook a further three or 4 minutes. Add tomatoes mix and cook for 5 minutes. Replace chicken and simmer on low heat until cooked (up to 30 minutes less for chicken breasts ) ( I might add a little tomato puree and splash of water/wine depending on time of year and tomatoes)Season add worcester sauce to taste. Just before serving sprinkle over the torn basil leaves
