INGREDIENTS

  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 4 Lilydale Free Range Chicken Thigh cutlets, skin on and bone in
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tsp chopped rosemary leaves
  • 1 red capsicum, cut into strips

METHOD

  • 1. Heat oil in a large, deep frypan over medium heat. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel, then season and place, skin-side down, in the pan. Cook for 4 minutes or until skin is golden, then turn and cook for a further 1 minute or until browned. Transfer to a plate.
  • 2. Return the pan to medium heat with the onion and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and rosemary, then cook for a further 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the capsicum, olives and red wine, then cook for 3-4 minutes until the liquid is reduced by half. Add tomato, then return the chicken, skin-side up, to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 12 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  • 3. Garnish with parsley and serve with polenta, if desired.
