We've turned puttanesca, one of our favourite Italian tomato sauces, into a delicious, slow-cooked chicken stew.
From the freezer
Remove meat from thighs and seal with sauce in a plastic bag. Freeze up to 3 months. Defrost. Reheat in microwave or a saucepan. Great over wide egg noodles with broccoli.
Later
Remove meat from thighs. Add to sauce. Cover and refrigerate up to 3 days. Reheat for hot, open-faced sandwiches.
Now
Chicken with sauce is delicious with boiled potatoes and mixed vegetables.
