Background

One of the reasons I like roasting a whole chicken for Sunday Lunch is that the leftover meat is always enough for at least one more family meal during the week, sometimes even two - so I can make some other quite simple dishes such as stews, pies, salads, loaded potato skins, curries, chilli and so on. If I don’t have enough meat, I add pulses, chorizo or bacon and lots of veggies et voilà!, there is a filling, quick-and-easy dish! This leftover chicken stew Mediterranean style takes very little time to make, it’s filling and yummy. Serve it with some mash, rice or simply some crusty bread, and a crispy salad.
