  • 1 tbsp tomato purée
  • 200ml dry white wine
  • 200ml chicken stock (we like Knorr)

Method

  1. Open out the chicken thighs and place skinned-side down on a work surface. Sprinkle with half the thyme and some seasoning, roll back into shape and tie at each end with string.
  2. Heat a deep, non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp oil and fry the chicken pieces until golden all over. Set aside.
  3. Add the rest of the oil, shallot and garlic to the pan. Fry for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned. Stir in the purée, cook for 1 minute, add the wine and stock, and bring to the boil. Return the chicken to the pan with the mushrooms, remaining thyme, bay leaves and some seasoning.
  4. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover, stir in the tomatoes and simmer for 30-35 minutes. Turn the chicken now and then, cooking until the chicken is tender and the sauce has reduced. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve with mashed potatoes.

  1. Chicken is lower in fat and calories than red meat – 100g of skinless chicken contains 108 calories and 2.1g fat compared to 136 calories and 5.1g fat in the same amount of lean beef. Plus, chicken, like all meats, is a rich source of protein, which helps you stay feeling fuller for longer.

  1. made this for sat night in front of the fire!! absolutely delicious!!! thought i would have leftovers as i made the recipe for 4 and there’s only 2 of us but we ate it all, served with parmesan mashed potato and buttered green beans
    yummy!!!

  2. “Sprinkle with half the thyme and some seasoning…..” what is “some seasoning”? Salt and Pepper? or something more exotic? Item is NOT listed in ingredients.

    1. Hi Elise,

      “Some seasoning” is salt and pepper, which you can just add to taste. We hope this was helpful, and that you enjoy the recipe!

      Thanks,
      The delicious. team
