Olive oil
410g tinned cannellini beans or 2 handfuls new potatoes
Method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
- Season your chicken pieces all over and put them into a snug-fitting pan in one layer. Throw in all the basil leaves and stalks, then the tomatoes and peppers..
- Scatter the garlic cloves into the pan and drizzle over some olive oil. Add the beans or potatoes. Mix around a bit, pushing the tomatoes underneath. Place in the oven for 1½ hours, turning the tomatoes halfway through, until the chicken skin is crisp and the meat falls off the bone.
That's it…..just too simple…enjoy!!
