Notes
Tip
If you can’t find bone in chicken breast, buy 500g breast meat.
Tip
If you don’t have a pan that’s big enough, heat the oven to 150°C and bake in a covered casserole dish for 1½ hours.
Tip
Serve this beautiful Mediterranean beauty with whatever you like – rice, pasta, boiled potato, mashed potato or just a lovely green salad or warm veggies. Whatever you do, it’ll taste wonderful.
