Method
- Heat the oil in a medium flameproof casserole over a medium-high heat, then fry the chicken and sausages for 6-7 minutes until golden all over. Transfer to a plate. Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes until starting to soften. Add the tomato purée and cook for 1 minute more.
- Turn the heat down to medium and add all the remaining ingredients. Return the chicken and sausages to the pan, season well and cook for 10-15 minutes until the stock has reduced slightly and the chicken is cooked through. Remove the thyme and bay leaves, then sprinkle with parsley and serve with a crusty white baguette and steamed green beans.
