Chicken supremes are boneless, skin-on chicken breasts with the wing attached. It’s a treat to have a little wing to gnaw on at the end, so give it a go if you wouldn’t usually pick up this cut. However, if you can’t find supremes, skin-on chicken breasts will obviously work just fine. Feeds 2 IngredientsContinue reading “One Pan Chicken and Chorizo Supper”

Tuscan Roasted Chicken
Low effort, summery and delivers amazing flavour, this bird has everything going for it. If you aren’t convinced yet, know that a spatchcock chicken roasts in less time than your standard bird and the flattened meat means the skin gets really crisp. Easy to carve, too. Spatchcock is just to say, remove the backbone fromContinue reading “Tuscan Roasted Chicken”

Whole BBQ’d Chicken with a Rosemary and Honey Glaze
This chicken occupies a special place in my heart, as it’s my closet approximation to a roast chicken I ate in Tuscany cooked by our Italian host family. Obviously the food was terrific, but when combined with the company, the atmosphere and the surroundings, it was sublime. I intend to recreate the entire meal oneContinue reading “Whole BBQ’d Chicken with a Rosemary and Honey Glaze”
Chicken in a Creamy Mushroom and Brandy Sauce
An elegant but surprisingly easy meal that will make you feel as though you’ve stumbled into a French bistro.

In terms of accompaniments this needs nothingContinue reading “Chicken in a Creamy Mushroom and Brandy Sauce”
Orange Rosemary Roast Chicken with Sweet Potato and Carrot Puree
Otherwise known as Orange Chicken with Orange Mash. I love chicken legs for this because you get huge flavour from the bone, no carving required. (Legs also offer great value.) However, for those breast-inclined among you, four skin-on, bone-in chicken breasts would be just fine, too, though you’d need to reduce the cooking time slightly.Continue reading “Orange Rosemary Roast Chicken with Sweet Potato and Carrot Puree”
Chicken, Mushroom & Broccoli Bake
This dish reminds me of a dinner my mum used to make for me – she took an uncharacteristic shortcut and made hers with cream of broccoli soup, as I recall. For me, it is comfort and nostalgia on a plate. This version dispenses with the tin of soup, but I redress the balance byContinue reading “Chicken, Mushroom & Broccoli Bake”
Mini Chicken, Bacon, Leek & Chestnut Pies
These pies just say Christmas! Big enough to be generous, but small enough for a party snack, if I saw a plate of these beauties any time over the festive period, I would instantly know I was welcome. If homemade shortcrust pastry isn’t your thing, you can buy pre-made shortcrust pastry in most grocery stores.Continue reading “Mini Chicken, Bacon, Leek & Chestnut Pies”
Chicken Tikka Marsala Triangles
Not to be confused with Chicken Tikka Masala. Chicken Tikka Masala given a festive – and inauthentic – twist with Christmassy flavours: booze, dried fruit and nuts. Very festive, indeed. Folded into a crisp phyllo shell, it’s the perfect party appetizer. Makes about 40 pieces Ingredients 2 tbsp butter 1 tbsp olive oil 1.5 cupsContinue reading “Chicken Tikka Marsala Triangles”
