I made the chicken in my iron casserole dish, I browned the chicken and onions in a little olive oil on the hob, then added the sliced peppers, chopped tin tomatoes, the herbs (I used one of those Knorr things with fresh herbs in a plug, not a stock cube) and a handful of basil from my windowsill. A large slug of red wine to finish, and that went into the oven on 160 degrees fan oven for just over two hours. We had baked potatoes, veggies and garlic bread with it. I will try mash next time I think, although the spuds were nice
The tarte was easy, a square of ready-made puff pastry (that's been useful this Christmas!) with the edges rolled in, sliced Cox's apples, then a thin sprinkled layer of sugar over it, and tiny dots of butter on top. Into the hot oven until almost cooked then I heated some apricot jam and painted that over the top with a pastry brush and back into the oven for five minutes. I served it up with cream or Kelly's clotted cream icecream
It was a big hit
