Italian Chicken Casserole

An article by obesebaby Comments

When it is cold and windy outside, a hot hearty casserole is just the thing to warm me up on a cold weekend. K-mart on sale, a heavy duty cast iron casserole has reduced down to $35, how can I resist? I’ve always wanted to get a casserole dish as it is so easy and convenience to make a casserole, all you do is chop and bake. I have found a very easy Italian Chicken recipe on Campbell’s Real stock recipe website http://www.campbellskitchen.com.au/recipes.aspx But of course, I have input some of my own creativity into the original recipe with a little bit extra ingredient.

Ingredients:

1 tsp oil
1 tsp butter
3 anchovies from can, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 medium potatoes, chopped
2 zucchini, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 onion, sliced
2 stalks of thyme
1/4 cup plain flour
500 ml pack Campbell’s real Stock – Chicken
4 tsp tomato paste
2 tsp dried Italian herbs

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 220ºC. Heat oil and butter in a large flameproof, ovenproof casserole dish over high heat. Add chicken & cook until well browned on all sides.

2) Add anchovies, thyme, onion, garlic, potato, zucchini & carrot. Cook for 2 mins.

3) In a bowl, combine flour with stock until evenly mixed, making sure there is no flour lumps. Stir in tomato paste & herbs then pour over chicken. Bring to the boil, stirring regularly. Cover & bake, for 30 – 40 mins or until chicken is cooked through. Serve with rice, pasta or mash. Garnish with coriander.
