Our saucy chicken puttanesca is just divine. Puttanesca is a famous Neapolitan tomato sauce. We used a Le Creuset Signature Cast Iron Marmite.
Ingredients

2 Tbsp | Chantal Organics tomato paste |
8 | Waitoa chicken thigh fillets, about 1kg |
½ cup | Superb Herb oregano |
¾ cup | Church Road white wine |

2 Tbsp | Olivado organic extra virgin olive oil |
5 cloves | Garlic, finely sliced |

Directions

- Heat oil in a casserole dish on medium-high heat. Add chicken and fry until browned, about 8 mins.
- Remove chicken, then turn heat down to medium. Add garlic and anchovies to the casserole dish and fry for 2 mins, stirring so they don't catch. Add tomato paste, olives, wine, capers, peel from 1 lemon and oregano, and fry for 5 mins, stirring often.
- Return chicken to the casserole dish, pour in 1 cup of water, then remove from heat and pop in the oven. Bake for 25 mins, until sauce has thickened and chicken is cooked through.
