30-MINUTE BRAISED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place a heavy pan over a high heat and drop in the onion with the oil. Stir well and cook for 2 mins, then add garlic.
• Add the chicken and cook for a few mins, turning each piece until they all have a little colour. Add the chopped apples and the prunes, stir well, pour in the wine and bring to the boil.
• Simmer covered for 20 mins until the chicken is tender. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with some mashed potato.

BRAISED CHICKEN WITH BLACK BEANS AND SWEET POTATO

Steps:

• Prep all the ingredients and season both sides of the chicken with a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. When it's hot and shimmering, add the chicken thighs to the pan.
• Leave them alone to brown deeply, about 4 minutes. Turn and brown them on the other side for a couple minutes, then remove them to a plate.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions, jalapeño, cumin, and coriander. (You may need to add a little oil.).
• Sauté until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
• Put the chicken back in the pan.
• Scatter the sweet potatoes and black beans around the chicken.
• Pour the broth in the pan, then cover and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160F, 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prep the lime and cilantro. Just before you serve the chicken, stir the zest, juice and cilantro into the pan.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy-based heat-proof casserole, add the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden, then discard the garlic.

• Remove all from the pan.
• Add the onion and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until almost soft.
• Add the wine, bay leaf rosemary and vinegar and boil for 2 minutes.
• Add the stock, then return the chicken to the pan and bring to the boil, then cover and simmer gently, turning once, for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
• Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm.
• Add the sugar, currants and olives to pan and simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce is syrupy.
• Return the chicken to the pan and stir in the parsley and pine nuts and serve immediately.
