Method

  1. Heat half the oil in a non-stick pan, then brown the chicken all over. Add half the chopped rosemary, stir to coat, then set aside on a plate.
  2. In the same pan, heat the rest of the oil, then gently cook the onion for about 5 mins until soft. Add the garlic, anchovies and remaining rosemary, then fry for a few mins more until fragrant. Pour in the tomatoes and capers with the wine, if using, or 75ml water if not. Bring to the boil, then return the chicken pieces to the pan. Cover, then cook for 20 mins until the chicken is cooked through. Season and serve with a crisp green salad and crusty bread.

    We loved this recipe.I did use 1tsp of dried rosemary as I find fresh rosemary a little too spiky in the mouth.

    Made this twice now - first for the family, then for a crowd. I agree, you need to use more meat than stated.

    Loved this dish. So quick and easy to make. Didn't have the anchovies or capers so did without. Added a chicken stock cube as a bit of a cheat for seasoning, then added some leftover potatoes about 5mins from the end (just to warm them through). It was so delicious and my kids loved it too which is always a bonus!

    this came in time as we had an unexpected guests. I gathered all the extra chicken parts (normally, tighs and wings go first). Followed instructions of preparing, I used red wine instead and some water, and added dumpling, 15 mins before turning off the stove. It was delicious, but because dumplings have the tendency to expand in the process, it was only good for 5 people. But bread was good enough.

    Babs - left over wine? Where do you buy that from? ;<) Can you leave out the Anchovies for those allergic to fish?

    Looks and sounds delicious. the idea of rosemary with chicken is unusual. I'll definitely have a go, but with chicken breasts. Tha slow cooker suggestio seems good too.

    Really enjoyed this - did it in the slow cooker but added extra half tin tomatoes as cooked 12 chicken thighs. However, think would stick to one tin tomatoes and a bit more wine next time for depth of flavour. Flavours combined were lovely and served it with parsnip and potato mash to soak up the juice, carrots and peas. Have frozen the leftovers and hope that when we eat that it will taste as good so next time I can do double quantity and freeze.

    I made this for dinner last night and I just know its going to be something I will make for years to come. It was so easy to make and follow and the flavour was just spectacular. Of course, me being me, I tweaked it somewhat, not too much, I like my sauces with a lot of veg so as well as the onions I added some mushrooms and one red pepper but obviously this is just a personal thing, also because I like a lot of sauce with my dishes and I was having leftovers for lunch at work today I added an extra tin of tomatoes, a little extra red wine, one extra anchovy and a few extra capers just so the extra tomatoes didn't affect the depth of the overall flavour. All in all, it was just stunning.

    I tried this recipe and the whole family loved it. Instead of using anchovys and capers I used an anchovy and olive tapenade which I had in my store cupboard. The addition of red wine definately added to the overall flavour and wouldn't leave this out!!

    This was really yummy and easy, left out the anchovy as not keen, but there was still a lot of flavour. Only had tins of tomato and basil in pantry and chucked in a sprig of thyme. Served with some roast veg couscous to soak up the lovely sauce. Will definitely be on the weekly menu!

    This was ok - a good no fuss weekday supper, but you need to up the flavours, I used more anchovies and three times as much Rosemary. If you use thighs the chicken is very tender.
