Chicken Pot with Olives
This came from the cheats cook book! It is amazingly delicious, so quick and so easy as you can do it blind folded or (hic!) just blind. Everyone will think it took hours to cook and will beg for the recipe. Lie and never reveal the secret…
You need for 6:
Preheat oven to 180
1 chicken or 8 chicken pieces
2 red onions sliced like Paris Hilton,very thin
6 garlics ditto
½ teasp saffron
½ cup black juicy olives; can chop if you are feeling angry.
¼ cup capers
2 tabs olive oil ( good designer one)
¼ cup Balsamic vinegar
2 tabs of fresh rosemary ; chopped very slackly
I glass wine to guzzle on as you chop
2 tabs brown sugar for a caramel taste
1 1/2 cups of chicken stock. Yes, show off and use the one that you have cooked up yourself or just throw in one from Campbells.
Lots of designer salt and pepper.
Now here’s the tricky bit
Throw it all in the oven and cook it for 45 mins to I hour
Done!
Now you can spend more time on the wardrobe: the Gucci or the YSL?
Ok need more instructions?
Throw the chicken and the rest of the ingredients into a baking tray. Scatter with more rosemary and throw into the oven uncovered for about 45 mins to an hour…
Might take longer just check that when the chicken is cooked through it has no pink peeking through (You know how we all hate pink this season)
Serve with pototes if you feel like it.
Now is that the most outrageously easy thing you have ever cooked and the most impressive? You bet.
Here’s a tip: make more than you think ( double the recipe) because the crowds will go wild and will be begging for more.
And you can’t let down those adoring fans now can you?
