My husband has s stomach ulcer-so I need a recipe that is tasty but not too many spices-any ideas please.?Has anyone got a good recipe for Chicken Casserole?
Try this ...





CHICKEN IN WINE (COQ AU VIN)





Serves 2





INGREDIENTS





750g of chicken


2 rashers of unsmoked bacon


50g of button mushrooms


1 clove of garlic


2 onions


1陆 tablespoons of olive oil


1 teaspoon of mixed herbs


录 of a teaspoon of pepper


1 chicken stock cube


125ml of water


175ml to 200ml (录 of a bottle) of red wine





DEFROSTING





If you are using frozen chicken, make sure that it is completely defrosted before use. Leave it in the fridge overnight, or out of the fridge and covered for 6 hours.





METHOD





Cut each rasher of bacon into quarters. Wipe the mushrooms clean and cut the ends off the stalks. Peel the garlic and chop it into tiny pieces. Peel the onions and cut them into quarters.





Put the oil into a saucepan on a medium heat. Add the bacon, chicken and onions. Fry the bacon, chicken and onions for about 10 minutes until it the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Stir frequently to stop it sticking.





Turn down the heat. Add the garlic, herbs and pepper. Cook on a low heat for another 10 minutes.





Put the contents of the saucepan into an ovenproof dish with a lid. Add the water, stock cube and wine. Stir thoroughly.





Put the lid on the ovenproof dish. Cook in a preheated oven at 180掳C, 350掳F, gas mark 4 for 1 hour. Add the mushrooms and cook for another 15 minutes with the lid off.





ADDITIONS %26amp; ALTERNATIVES





Substitute 1 tablespoon of butter for 1 tablespoon of the oil.





Use a bouquet garni instead of the mixed herbs. It looks like a big tea bag with herbs in it, and stops them being left in the dish. Don鈥檛 forget to fish it out before serving.





Add 1 tablespoon of brandy at the same time as the wine.





Serve with new potatoes and green vegetables, or rice, or even a salad.Has anyone got a good recipe for Chicken Casserole?
