Instructions to make Chicken Casserole:

1. Pre-heat oven to Gas Mark 4 or electric equivalent (probably 180C), Circotherm 160C.
2. Mix the flour and seasoning and use it to coat the chicken pieces.
3. Melt the butter in an ovenproof casserole and quickly brown on all sides. Set aside until Step 6.
4. If necessary, use a very little of the wine to deglaze the casserole, then fry the onion and shallots for 2 minutes, only stirring to avoid sticking.
5. Add the chilli, peppers, garlic and mushrooms and stir gently but thoroughly. Fry for a further 5 minutes or until the vegetables have softened, stirring occasionally. Stir in the paprika and any leftover seasoned flour and add the stock.
6. Stir in the tomato purée and return the chicken pieces to the casserole. Pour in the wine and add the herbs/spices. Stir gently but thoroughly.
7. Bring to the boil, cover and place in the pre-heated oven.
8. Cook for 75-90 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Check two or three times to ensure that the casserole doesn’t run dry. If necessary, add a little more stock.
9. Serve piping hot onto warmed plates with your choice of accompaniments. Today we had boiled potatoes, carrots and French beans but we often have rice instead of potatoes and cabbage or Brussels sprouts as the “green” component. Anything you fancy is right!
