Chicken cacciatore ('hunter's chicken') is the Italian take on France's chicken chasseur. With succulent chicken cooked in a rich tomato sauce with onion, carrot, fresh rosemary and thyme, it's a real family favourite. Served with crispy potatoes on the side. (Gluten and dairy-free, suitable for coeliacs.)

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ 425°F/ Gas 7
Cut the potatoes (skins on) into bite-sized pieces, add them to a baking tray and drizzle them with olive oil
Add a large pinch of salt and pepper and mix well
Put them in the oven for 20-25 min or until they're golden brown and crispy
Meanwhile, heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the chicken thigh fillets and season them lightly with salt and pepper
Cook for 3 min or until starting to brown, turning occasionally for even colouring
Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the garlic, carrot[s] and brown onion[s]
Strip the rosemary and thyme leaves from the stalks and chop finely
Add the chopped onion[s], carrot[s] and garlic to the chicken
Cook for 3 min or until the vegetables have softened slightly
Add the chopped rosemary and thyme to the pan and cook for 2 min
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 min further
Meanwhile, boil a kettle
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan with a pinch of sugar and cook for 3 min until the tomatoes have reduced a little
Tip: the sugar helps balance the acidity of the tomatoes
Meanwhile, dissolve the Knorr chicken stock cube[s] in 100ml [200ml] boiled water
Once the tomatoes have thickened slightly, reduce the heat to medium
Add the chicken stock and season with pepper
Cook for 10 min or until the sauce resembles a pasta sauce-like consistency
Tip: loosen with a splash of boiled water if the sauce becomes too dry
Add the black olives and remove from the heat
Pull the chicken apart a little in the pan for easy eating – this is your chicken cacciatore
Tip: use two forks to pull the meat apart
Serve the chicken cacciatore with the crispy potatoes to the side
Enjoy!
