Red Chicken

Imaginatively named after the amount of red ingrediants!!!!
Cubed Pancetta
Cubed Chicken
1 red pepper
1 red onion
Spanish Chorizo Sausage
(any other veg you fancy - I added courgettes)
Garlic to taste
Italian Passata or tinned tomato's if preferred
Put a dash of olive oil into a wok or frying pan and sautee the red onions, gradually add the red pepper. Pop in the pancetta and chorizo and depending on how "garlicky" you like things add garlic now for a subtle flavour or later for more kick. Add the chicken and brown with any other veg you adding.
Transfer to an oven proof dish and cover with a tomato sauce of your choice, chunky tinned tomato's work well as does any passata or tomato based pasta sauce. I used a passata with added garlic & herbs.
Cook on a low heat for at least an hour for all the flavours to mingle and the chorizo to soften a little. Serve with rice, couscous or in our case little roast potato's and green veg.
