- 5 or 6 chicken thighs or drum sticks.

- 7floz chicken stock

- 2 dessert spoons of flour to thicken
Methods/steps
- Heat the oven to 160/375 or gas 3.
- In a large pan, fry the chicken pieces in some olive oil on a high heat for a minute or two until just browned and then put to one side.
- Using the same pan, on a low heat some more olive oil, sautee the onion and mushrooms and sweet peppers until soft. Then add the oregano and the garlic.
- Heat up a large hot pot or casserole dish on the stove and put the chicken, onion, mushrooms, oregano, garlic and peppers into it.
- Sprinkle 2-3 spoons of flour into the pot and stir in thoroughly. (this will thicken the sauce)
- Then add the wine and stir then add the chicken stock.
- Once the juices start to thicken add the tomatoes and stir again.
- Add salt and pepper to taste (at this point a little tomato ketchup sweetens the taste my 'secret ingredient')
- Cover the dish and put in the oven for 50mins.
- Take out and then stir in the beans. and cook for a further 20 mins.
- If you find the sauce a little too runny you can add some chicken granuals or *corn flour ( *needs to be mixed with cold water first) until the juice thickens more. If it is too thick then thin out with a little more wine.
- Serve from the pot with some green vegetables.
