Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I have made this numerous times over the years. I use thighs, as I like the flavor and they remain moist. I like the vegetables, so I do double the onions, carrot, and celery. When I have leftovers, I coarsely shred the chicken and return it to the sauce. Whether freshly made or leftover, I serve with rice.

    A truly excellent recipe. I used chicken thighs with skin and on the bone. Cooked very evenly and quickly - about 30 minutes.

    We liked this; it was good comfort food on a cold winter night. I used four skin on, bone in chicken breasts and put them back in the pan after browning for 20 not 10 minutes because they were pretty big breast pieces. The tomato/ wine sauce with the vegetables was lovely. Took one hour from start to finish. Served with Basmati rice but I think rustic bread would have been even better. Update: even better second night with chicken cut in chunks over orzo pasta.

    I loved this. I used 6 thighs instead of a whole chicken. I removed the chicken pieces from the pan then tossed egg noodles in the sauce then added the chicken back before serving.

    Very good. I broke a chicken down but didn't have enough meat - would just use pieces next time. I served with the sautéed courgette rounds (p 523), crunchy roast potatoes and grilled asparagus. Will add crusty bread next time, definitely make again!
