Can you resist this?
I came across this great recipe in Rosemarie Saunders’ new cook book “A Sprig of Rosemarie” (will review later.) Her recipe was for chicken only but I thought it would be great combined with my Greek lemon and potatoes recipe that so many of you loved. So I did—and it was beyond all the telling of it—packed with flavour, very moreish. :Piquant with just the right balance between rich and tangy..
Starting out stove top
The great thing is you put all the ingredients into a deep casserole dish raw and bake for about an hour and a half at 180 degrees and voila –! Gives you time to have at least 3 G and Ts. I started it off on the top of the stove to release the alcohol in the wine and then placed it into the oven uncovered. Give it a small shake every now and then. The smells throughout the house are just fabulous.
