My mum made it for me for the first time and i loved the smell and the taste . The chicken and tomato stands out . The anchovies give it that extra kick .

Heat oil over a medium heat in a flameproof casserole dish large enough to hold the chicken . Add chicken pieces and cook for a cou[le of minutes , just long enough to colour the chicken lightly . Then put in the onion , garlic and herbs . Fry gently for 2-3 minutes , just until the mixture starts smelling really great .
Add anchovies to the casserole with olives or capers , tomatoes , tomatoe puree and stock or wine . Bring to a simmer and cook at a good pace for 30-35 minutes , spooning the sauce over the chicken every 10 minutes or so . the cooking liquid is absolutely delicious .
