Chicken and sun-dried tomatoes and Anya potatoes

At long last, a new recipe!

I had some chicken and some Anya potatoes and fancied using up some sun-dried tomatoes in oil...

Use one and a half tablespoons of the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes to shallow-fry your organic chicken, adding salt and pepper. Meanwhile, chop up a quarter of a cup of the sun-dried tomatoes, make a cup of chicken broth (or Marigold bouillon in my case), add half a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar. Had to substitute basil for oregano.

When the chicken is cooked (I added a few thinly sliced onions and some freshly chopped garlic), keep it warm while you cook up all the other ingredients. Bring to boil and simmer for three minutes or so to reduce to half a cup.

The ingredients are for four but it made a nice 'soup' for one, especially with the Anya potatoes chopped warm into a vinaigrette (also with balsamic vinegar, finely chopped onion and garlic).

This is Delia's suggestion for the potatoes (I did indeed steam them for 20 minutes while I cooked the rest of the meal).

It was really enjoyable. The original recipe suggests pounding the chicken between sheets of plastic until 1/2" thickness using a rolling pin. Probably would encourage the flavours to enter the meat.

Went well with an avocado starter and cherries for dessert
