Turkish Chicken Casserole

With all the fog and rain today we decided to make something a bit wintry and different. For some reason I had a memory flash of a Turkish chicken thing (you can see I’m still on my chicken and rice theme) that I’d printed off the internet and put in my folder of recipes to make one day and never had.

I found the recipe, I’d printed it in 2003 and it’s still on the internet today albeit slightly updated! I was a bit dubious about the actual orange segments in it after having marinaded the chicken in orange juice all afternoon and thought that a whole green capsicum would be quite overwhelming, we prefer the sweeter red/orange capsicums but as always, we followed the recipe exactly when making it the first time around.

It looked nice and colourful in the fry pan

And when all the flavours had simmered together tasted fantastic! The orange and capsicum had mellowed so much, the chicken was really tender and the whole thing was just delicious.

So another one to add to the list for when visitors come for dinner!

Here’s the recipe from the eCook website: Turkish Style Chicken Casserole
