Preparation

Step 1

Heat the olive oil/butter in a large frying pan and, once the oil has reached a high heat, place the chicken in the pan. Sear it for five minutes on each side, you want the chicken to brown but not completely cook through.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside in a casserole dish.
Add all the other ingredients to the pan and let simmer for 10 minutes until it is a thick, soupy mixture.
Pour this on top of the chicken, making sure all the ingredients mingle.
Cover and put in the oven at 375 for 30 minutes.
