Method:
- Bring a large stew pot to a medium-high heat, then add your Napolina Olive Oil. Once hot, add the chicken skin side down and sear on each side until golden brown all over, then remove.
- Reduce the heat to medium, then add the onion, carrot & celery alongside a pinch of salt. Cover and cook for 2 minutes. Remove the lid, then add the rosemary, sage & thyme, then cover and cook for a further 5 minutes.
- Add the Napolina Herbs & Garlic Flavour Booster, then cook for 5 minutes. Deglaze with the red wine and allow to simmer for 8 minutes or until reduced by half. Add the chicken back to the pot alongside the Napolina Passata, water/stock and black olives. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Remove the lid, season to taste with salt and pepper, then cook for a further 10 minutes. Serve your Chicken Cacciatore with some toasted bread and enjoy!
