Mediterranean Baked Chicken with Olives recipe

About this recipe

A high-protein Mediterranean-inspired dinner featuring tender baked chicken in a rich tomato and olive sauce, spiced with a hint of cinnamon for a warm, aromatic touch.

Ingredients

800 g La Carne Classic Whole Smoked Raw Chicken (Frozen)
1 ltr Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil
525 g Veeba Herby Tomato Pizza & Pasta Sauce
45 g On1Y Cinnamon Powder
100 g Catch Sprinklers - Iodized Table Salt
50 g On1Y Black Peppercorns With Grinder

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (gas mark 3).
2. Wash and pat dry 1 whole chicken, then season it generously with salt and pepper.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat. Brown the chicken on all sides until golden, about 8-10 minutes.
4. In a bowl, mix 3/4 cup tomato sauce, 2 ounces of sliced black olives, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.
5. Transfer the browned chicken to a covered oven-safe dish. Pour the tomato sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated.
6. Cover the dish and bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, turning the chicken occasionally. The chicken is done when the meat easily falls away from the bone.
7. Serve hot, garnished with additional olives or fresh herbs if desired.
