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.

    Really tasty and filling with a crusty bread roll and salad. I had to add a bit of water to the sauce halfway through cooking to loosen it up a bit and stop it sticking.

    This was really delicious, even though we didn't have any wine in the house. Also, I only had chicken thighs with the bone still in but we used them anyway and it was still fine, just increased the cooking time a little.

    This dish was quite average and gave me and my partner terrible indigestion.The flavours were okay, but too much was going on 4 my taste.

    Recently made this recipe for myself, hubby and our kids aged 4 and 1. With the strongish flavours of the anchovies and capers thought kids might not be keen but ate the lot with mashed potato and now a regular tea in our house - sauce is quite thin so looks a bit watery but doesn't taste it.

    It wasn't too bad but the look the sauce put me off. Blood and guts. Plus the mix of ingredients with the chicken was a little unusual. Again, it tasted fine, i think its just a psychological thing but Im not making it again.

    I used three anchovy fillets and a tablespoon of red wine vinegar, and chicken portions with the bones (pre-roasted for 20 minutes). It turned out absolutely incredible, and I have a feeling I will be making this again.

    I had some pak choi to use up, so sliced the bulbs and added for simmering and put the leaves in at the last minute to wilt. Lovely recipe, will definitely make again. Didn't tell my husband that anchovies and capers were there until after he'd eaten it and voted it a make again - he would have said he hated both ingredients! He now thinks I'm a devious wife!

    This meal was GORGEOUS!!! I varied it slightly by adding some carrots and peppers with the onion and, a few minutes later, some button mushrooms then, before adding the chopped tomatoes to the onion mixture, I added a good dollop of tomato puree and fried for a minute. Once everything was in, I did have to leave for 40 minutes, as the chicken was not cooked after 20, but maybe I didn't brown enough at the start. Oh...and I used thighs with the bone and skin still on....I know it's a little naughty, but tastes soooo much better! I would thoroughly recommend!

    Really enjoyed this dish. I didn't add the wine or capers and it was still great looking forward to cooking it again.

    @ Babs "I used left over red wine - pinot noir reserve which I had frozen in ice cube trays - very handy!! " Bloody brilliant idea! Never thought of that. Do You wrap in cling-film individualy, or just pop the icecube tray in a bag?

    This was very nice, even the sometimes fussy kids ate it, and that was after a birthday tea. Will definately do this again, and might add some mushrooms next time. Also, nore capers.

    The amount of liquid at the start was way too much. I only used 20cl (just under half a pint) of wine and had to reduce the sauce quite a lot at the end. Absolutely delicious though, served with roast new potatoes and carvolo nero.

    Yum. Made this for a midweek family tea with granary loaf & salad as suggested. The bread made a nice change from the usual pasta/rice/noodles. The kids enjoyed it and my Mum asked for the recipe. This one's definitely a keeper!
