Lazy Caccitore

enough for: 2
takes: 60 minutes
4-6 chicken drumsticks
1.5 cups tomato passata
2 tablespoons butter
1 handful black olives
2 medium zucchini

Preheat your oven to 200C. Place chicken, tomato and butter in an ovenproof dish large enough to hold the chicken in one layer. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove the foil, turn the chicken, add the olives and bake uncovered for another 20-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Taste and add extra salt if needed (the olives will bring some so you may not need it).

While the chicken is cooking slice the zucchini into ribbons using a vegetable peeler, mandoline or spiralizer. Season with salt and allow the ‘noodles’ to stand at room temp to warm up and soften slightly.

To serve divide zucchini noodles between 2 plates and top with chicken, olives and sauce.
