Sunday Chicken Stew

So Sunday arrives, the day of rest for most however I found myself in the kitchen at 5:30am making an omelette and a pot of coffee in preparation for turning into work at 6:45am to move some end of line terminals with colleagues.  This went with some success and setup the rest of the day nicely to make a simple chicken stew to enjoy whilst watching the football this afternoon.

I'll unashamedly admit the recipe has been taken from Olive Magazine.  Ingredients are as follows;

• Chicken Thighs - bone and skin removed and cut into quarters
• Chopped fresh rosemary
• Crushed garlic cloves
• 2 sliced onions
• Chicken stock
• Balsamic vinegar
• Peeled and quartered waxy potatoes - new's, charlottes etc
• Pearl barley

Brown the chicken, remove then sweat down the onions, add the rosemary and garlic and cook for a few minutes, pour in the balsamic and coat the onions then add everything in and bring to a simmer then transfer to the oven at 170 degrees celsius for 1 hour.  I made a quick cartouche to cover the stew before putting it in the oven.  Serve with fresh parsley and some good bread.  More to come, enjoy your Sunday!
