Chicken with Thyme and tomato


Ingredients
  • 400g free range chicken thighs $8.90
  • 800ml tomato passata $2.95
  • 1 bunch thyme $2.45
  • 400g cannelini beans $1.85
  • 1/2 Garlic bread (I cheated and bought it) $2.45
    Total $18.60



Method
  1. Trim the chicken things of excess fat
  2. Whack garlic bread in preheated oven.
  3. Strip 5-10 sprigs of thyme to make about 3 tbps of leaves and chop 'em up.
  4. Fry thighs until nice and brown in a little olive oil, flavour the oil with a few springs of thyme if you like, use a big pan and be sure to remove the sprigs when the chicken is done
  5. Pour in the passata and bring to the boil

  6. Add the chopped thyme leaves.
  7. When the tomato is good and thick, stir in the beans and heat through.
  8. Serve with garlic bread for sauce sopping.
Time to prepare: 20 mins
Family happiness: 2 year old slurped it up and came looking for more (be careful he doesn't gag on any of the sprigs of thyme if you miss any, mine did), 4 year turned up his nose at the beans and ate the chicken, passata and garlic bread. Wife seemed happy, but she had it nuked so not really a reasonable test.
