Yet again have been totally crap over the weekend. Had people round for a fondue on Sat, tried not to eat too much of it though. Yesterday went out for a roast! I am a hopeless case. Think I will have to join ww again.

Coddy in answer to your Q about why didn't I have fruit, I can't eat a lot of fruit/veggies without my crohn's disease flaring up, have to have a relatively low fibre diet, things like baked beans kill me! It does make it hard dieting as you can't fill up on healthy stuff too much, though there are plenty of veggies etc I can eat, just not lots at one go.

....................................
CHICKEN POMODORO
..................
Serves 4

Prep: 20 min
Cook: 45 min

500g potatoes, peeled
6 or 8 chicken thighs, depending on size
Sea salt and pepper
1tbsp olive oil
400g tinned chopped tomatoes or 400ml tomato passata
2tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
½tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp salted capers, rinsed
2tbsp minced parsley

METHOD

Heat the oven to 190C/Gas 5. Finely slice the potatoes and place on the base of an oiled roasting/baking tin. Trim the thighs of excess skin, season the inside and roll tightly.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and sear the chicken until golden, allowing the fat to drain off. Arrange the chicken on top of the potatoes.

Combine the chopped tomatoes or passata with the olive oil, crushed garlic, dried oregano, capers, sea salt, pepper and most of the chopped parsley. Pour the mixture over the chicken.

Cover the pan with kitchen foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for a further 15 minutes until the chicken is tender. Scatter with remaining chopped parsley and serve.
