Looking for a week night supper that’s quick to make but doesn’t compromise on the flavour? Try this one pot Mediterranean Chicken casserole recipe for a dinner idea that won’t take you an age to make.
Using oregano, olives and cherry tomatoes, this casserole dish has a distinct Mediterranean flavour that will instantly transport you back to your European summer holidays.
Using chicken thighs, which are generally cheaper than chicken breasts, the meat will be tender and tasty. Adding dry white wine and sherry vinegar creates a wonderful aroma when mixed with the garlic and herbs. Plus, the whole thing only takes about 45 minutes to cook, plus a little time for preparation.
And as it’s all in one pot, there’s not much washing up to do either.
