This delicious mix of flavours is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Some bread to mop up the yummy juices makes this even better.
Ingredients
- 500-700 g chicken thigh fillets

Method

Tips & Tricks
- Add other vegetables if you wish - eg eggplant, mushrooms. If adding harder vegetables such as potatoes or pumpkin, chop into smaller pieces and cook them for 20 minutes before adding softer vegetables and chicken.
- You could use breast fillets (cut into smaller pieces) instead of thighs, but they would not need as long to cook. Cook the vegetables for 10-15 minutes before adding the chicken breast, to avoid it drying out.
- This marinade would also work with lamb chops or steaks.
- I often add extra chicken pieces to this so that we have some ready to add to wraps or salads for a few days
