Tom Kerridge's Chicken
This easy, one-dish chicken dinner is like the top of a really good pizza – without the dough. As the tomatoes break down, they release their juices to make a light, fragrant tomato sauce, and the chicken soaks up the flavours of the other ingredients.

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 200°C (fan)/ 425F/ Gas 7
Lightly season the chicken with salt
Place a dry, wide-base pan (with a matching lid) over a medium-high heat and, once hot, add the chicken (skin-side down) and cook for 5 min or until golden and crispy, without turning
Once golden, transfer the chicken, skin-side up, into an ovenproof dish
Discard the oil from the chicken pan but leave behind any bits at the bottom for step 7 (to lend extra flavour to the bulgur)
Peel and finely slice the garlic
Toss the whole cherry tomatoes, olives, garlic and oregano in a bowl
Trickle over about 20ml/2.5 tbsp (40ml/5 tbsp) olive oil (preferably extra virgin) and toss the tomatoes again to coat
Tip the dressed tomatoes over the chicken, pushing them down well with a spoon so that everything is well mixed together
De-link the chorizo and slice each one in half lengthways
Peel and cut the onion(s) into 8 wedges through the root
Tip: This ensures that the onion layers stay together whilst cooking
Lay the salami and onion wedges over the chicken
Tear the mozzarella over the top
Bake for 30-35min, or until the chicken is cooked through, the onions are charred around the edges and the cheese is bubbling and melted
Once the chicken has been cooking for 15 min, boil a kettle
Add the bulgur wheat to the reserved chicken pan with 180ml (360ml) boiled water, cover with a lid and place on a medium-low heat
Simmer for 5 min or until almost all the water is absorbed
Remove from the heat and leave covered for 10 min or until all water has absorbed
Remove the dish from the oven
Serve the chicken over the bulgur with a couple of spoonfuls of the sauce over the top
Season to your taste with salt and plenty of pepper and enjoy!
