Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish and stir-fry the mushrooms until they start to soften. Add the chicken legs and cook briefly on each side to colour them a little.

  • step 2

    Pour in the passata, crumble in the stock cube and stir in the olives. Season with black pepper – you shouldn’t need salt. Cover and simmer for 40 mins until the chicken is tender. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with pasta and a salad, or mash and green veg, if you like.

If you don't like olives try swapping them for some chilies they are a great addition to this dish.

I also served this with mash potatoes - but instead of using butter and milk or cream try using two tablespoons of olive oil and three crushed garlic cloves.

Delicious! I used chicken thighs, only had plain passata so threw in chopped garlic and oregano. Served it with green beans from the garden and olive oil infused mash. Can't wait to have it again. If it's good enough for Napoleon, it's good enough for me.

This is lovely; very tasty, simple and low carb (if that is something you are after). It's a go-to recipe now for us.

The classic recipe for chicken marengo should include a fried egg.
