Awesome Chicken Casserole

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
    9 oz raw onions cut in thin circles
    3 small celery sticks
    5 chicken thighs (that's the number in the pkt, any number will do!)
    2 cans chopped tomatoes
    4 oz dried apricots, halved
    shake of onion salt
    shake of ground ginger
    shake of red pepper flakes
    ground black pepper
    1 cinnamon stick
    2 bay leaves
    5 cloves
    5 cardamom pods
    1 cup water
    1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

    Heat the oil and brown the chicken. Remove.
    Fry onion gently until soft. Add celery and fry a bit more.
    Add spices.
    Add cans of tomatoes then put the chicken thighs in and simmer until cooked through. I gave it half an hour.
    Add the apricots about 10 minutes before the end.

    I deliberately made it with lots of wet stuff, so that it would go well over rice. Had it tonight over pasta, and it was great.
