1 Tbsp. olive oil, plus extra to drizzle

4 skinless chicken breasts

1 onion, chopped

250 g white mushrooms, sliced

2 x 400 g tins chopped tomatoes

1 tsp. dried oregano

1 bay leaf

150 ml chicken stock or water

Large handful rocket

Step 1
Heat half the oil in a large, deep frying pan. Fry chicken over a high heat for 6min, turning once. Lift chicken out; set aside on a plate.

Step 2
Heat the remaining oil in the chicken pan and fry the onion and mushrooms over a medium heat for 8min, until beginning to soften. Stir in the tomatoes, oregano, bay leaf and chicken stock. Return the chicken to the pan, bring the mixture to the boil and simmer for 15min, turning the chicken halfway through the cooking time, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

Step 3
Remove the bay leaf, then season well and stir through the rocket.

GH TIPS

Add pitted olives to this recipe to elevate it further and serve with crusty bread to mop up the yummy juices.

Try our slow cooker chicken cacciatore recipe, which slowly cooks the chicken thighs over three hours, so the meat is beautifully tender.
