Cheating chicken cacciatora

I tried out Delia's Shortcut Chicken Cacciatora tonight... and this is how it went. Not so many points for presentation but tasty meal with beautifully cooked succulent chicken.

Shortcut Chicken Cacciatora

Serves 2-3
50 preparation time.

What I used:
6 chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat
500g jar of passata
olive oil
2 medium onions, peeled and roughly chopped
2 cloves of garlic, peeled
1 dessert spoon of
200ml dry white wine
2 caps of white wine vinegar

Heat the olive oil as per directed in a flameproof casserole. I am a bit more generous with olive oil so I add more than the 1 tbsp as directed. When it is adequately hot (not smoking hot) seasoned and seal/sauté them until them until they were golden. Whilst this is happening chop up the onions, garlic and threw them and the rosemary into a blender (I have a blender unit attachment for my hand blender), and gently blend using pulse so as to make a chunky mix rather than mush.

When the chicken is golden, place them aside on a plate with tongs and saute the onion mix until softened. This will take about 4-6 minutes. At this point, add the chicken back into the casserole and add the passata, white wine and white wine vinegar. Add a tad more seasoning and then bring to the boil immediately taking heat down to the lowest setting for about 45 minutes.
