One pot meals – my absolute favourite. Less cleaning up, quick to put together and best of all the dish retains on its lovely flavours as there is no moving the food from pan to pan. This recipe for chicken with sundried tomato cream sauce is a winner winner chicken dinner kinda meal.
The flavour comes from the use of Always Fresh Mediterranean Sundried Tomatoes that are bottled with capers, herbs and sauteed onions – you can just imagine the flavour explosion you will get when eating this dish. The best part – there is no need to worry about adding additional quantities of herbs and spices because they are all bottled up with the sundried tomatoes which just makes this dish even easier.
INGREDIENTS
1 Whole Chicken cut into 8ths or you can use 8 thighs, drumsticks.
2 Tbs Butter
1 Tbs Olive Oil
1 Tbs Minced Garlic
1 Onion, sliced
Salt and Pepper
1/2 Jar Always Fresh Mediterranean Sundried Tomatoes
1 Cup Chicken Stock
1/2 Cup Cream
1/4 Cup Parmesan
1/2 Cup Medium Grain Rice (uncooked)
LETS PUT IT ALL TOGETHER
1. Place a heavy baking pot that has a lid on the stove over a high heat. Add the butter and olive oil and allow to melt. Add the chicken pieces skin side down add the garlic, onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook on both sides until golden brown. Approx 2-3 minutes each side. Remove the chicken from the pot.
2. Add the chicken stock, cream, sundried tomatoes, parmesan and rice. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken a little. Return the chicken to the pot and then place in a 160 degree celcius oven for 30 minutes.
Serve and enjoy.

How and when would you add the rice if making in a slow cooker? Thanks
I would love to win one of these packs and think I would try making sun-dried tomato pesto pasta 🙂
The sundried tomatoes would be my pick, pureed in the magic bullet with some cream cheese to make an amazing dip!
Hi Amanda, stupid question but when you put the pot in the oven do you put the lid on?
Yes I’m wondering this too as why would you need a pot with a lid otherwise?
Yes the lid goes on when you place it in the oven.
Hi Alison, yes you do.
I love my sundried tomato pasta!
I’d love to try the Tuscan Mix, I reckon it would add a lovely zing to my Morrocan Chicken Cous Cous! And I’d use some of the oil from the jar to add to a yoghurt dressing. Yummo, this is making me hungry!!
Hi Jasmine, congratulations you have one of the prize packs. I have sent you an email.
I’d love to make a pasta using chilli olives, or a chicken dish, or just eat them! 🙂
I love Always Fresh! I’d like to try the Mediterranean mix, I think they’d be a divine addition to Mediterranean roast chicken with hassle back potatoes.
The yummy olives!! I want to start making my own foccacias YUMMY!!!
id love to try the sun dried tomatoes. I’d probably just eat them from the jar haha but if there’s any left I’d make a creamy sundried tomato pasta!
i would love to use the artichoke hearts and I would use on a Mediterranean pizza
I’d love to try the Tuscan mix on a wood fire pizza
I would love to try the sundried tomatoes! I would use them to stuff chicken breasts with the tomatoes, ricotta, spinach, pistachios and herbs … Or a simple antipasto plate always goes down well 🙂
Congratulations you are the second winner, check your email.
I would love to try the Tuscan mix to put in my stromboli. Would be a taste sensation!!
Parmesan stuffed olives!!! I would add them to a bolognase sauce – and heaps of them!
Tuscan mix- who wouldn’t love an afternoon in the autumn sun with a bowl of Tuscan treats, a glass of white and dream of an Italian field!!
Is half a cup of rice correct for 4 people. Doesn’t sound like much.
Yes it is. You can cook extra separately otherwise you will need to double the liquid if you want to double the rice.
does it work with arborio rice too?
You can, but you will need a little extra liquid or use a little less as they absorb liquid more than long grain rice.
