Chicken Cacciatore
Mid-week meals call for Chicken Cacciatore. We’ve dressed ours with SIMON JOHNSON Empeltre Olives, Italianavera San Marzano Tomatoes and El Navaricco Piquillo Peppers. This dish is baked on a bed of baked fregola, capturing all the delicious flavours in one pan.
Equipment
- You will need a large casserole dish
Ingredients
- 500g Fregola Sarda
- 1 brown onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced

Instructions
- Add fregola to the base of the casserole dish and top with onion, garlic and chicken pieces.

- Add the olives and piquillo peppers, along with a drizzle of the extra virgin olive oil. Tuck the bay leaves into the top of the casserole around the chicken pieces and peppers, etc.
