Make ahead braised chicken for quick, flavorful meal.
Ingredients:
  • 18.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.6kg whole chicken, cut into 10 pieces
  • 1 large leek, trimmed, halved lengthways, washed, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 185ml (3/4 cup) white wine
  • 185ml (3/4 cup) salt reduced chicken style liquid stock (see note)
  • 4 x 5cm-long strips lemon rind, white pith removed
  • 500g ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped
  • 150g (1 cup) frozen broad beans, peeled
  • 5.00 gm cornflour (see note)
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) pouring cream
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh continental parsley
  • Mashed potato, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat, heat oil. Cook half of the chicken, turning once, for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
  • Reserve 1 tablespoon of flavorful fat in the pan and discard the rest. Sauté leek and garlic over medium heat for 6 minutes until leek begins to soften. Increase heat, pour in wine, and cook for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half. Pour in stock and bring to a boil.
  • Add the chicken back to the pan along with the fresh lemon rind. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low. Simmer covered for 40 minutes. Add the tomato and broad beans, then continue to cook covered for an additional 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (Refer to note for freezing instructions.)
  • In a small bowl, combine cornflour and cream. Pour the mixture into the chicken blend and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Stir in parsley, then serve the chicken mixture over mash on individual plates.
