If you are a regular reader here, you will know we do enjoy chicken in our house. It has so many plus points - its versatility, as well as the ease and speed with which it can be cooked - make it one of the most popular meats around. It has a high level of good quality protein, as well as B vitamins, iron, copper and selenium.
This recipe suggestion is for Hunter's chicken, which is an Italian tomato stew also known as chicken cacciatore. It's a pub classic that's very easy to make at home.

Leafy greens
Roasted, mashed or boiled potatoes
Method
1. Season the flour with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then dredge the chicken pieces in it.
2. Heat the oil in a casserole or large heavy based saucepan over a medium heat, then fry the chicken for 2–3 minutes on each side, until brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same casserole, fry the onion and garlic for 8–10 minutes over a low heat, until softened. Add the tomato purée and cook for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, rosemary, bay leaf, wine, stock and vinegar and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
4. Return the chicken pieces to the casserole and cover with a lid. Simmer over a low heat for 30–40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender.
5. To serve, remove the lid and sprinkle with parsley leaves. Spoon out onto plates and serve with side dish of your choice. I would choose the mashed swede and a few leafy greens, how about you?

We eat a lot of chicken too, and this sounds really good. Even better, I think we have all the ingredients in the pantry right now. This will be really nice if we have a cold or damp day up here -- it feels like comfort food. Thanks for this one.
