Chicken
A warm and hearty Italian meal of chicken with vegetables in a rosemary, tomato sauce with olives, paired with a side of potato parsnip mash.
1. Peel and dice potatoes and parsnips. Place in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until tender. Drain and mash with a potato masher along with 2 tbsp olive oil (see notes). Season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a frypan over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp oil. Peel and slice onion. Chop garlic and rosemary leaves. Add to pan as you go. Cook for 5 minutes, or until softened.
3. Quarter mushrooms and squash. Dice chicken and add to pan along with 2 tsp paprika, crumbled stock cube and 1 tbsp tomato paste. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly browned.
4. Stir in olives along with 1/4 cup olive oil, crushed tomatoes and 1/2 cup of water. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5. Divide mash and cacciatore between plates. Season with extra pepper if desired.
Notes:
Add butter to your mash if preferred for a richer flavour.
