Method
1.Heat oil in a large flameproof casserole dish on high. Brown chicken pieces all over. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
2.Remove excess oil from pan, leaving enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Sauté celery, carrot and onion for 5-8 minutes, until onion is tender. Add pancetta and garlic, sauté for a further 4-5 minutes.
3.Stir in wine and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Return chicken to the pan with tomatoes, mushrooms, stock, vinegar, herbs and sugar. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to low and cook, covered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4.Transfer chicken to a plate. Add olives to pan and increase heat to high. Reduce sauce for 4-5 minutes. Return chicken to pan, turning in sauce. Sprinkle with parsley. Season to taste.
Chicken maryland is the leg and thigh portion. Maryland portions can be replaced with 1.8kg chicken pieces. Buy chicken pieces from the deli section of your supermarket – you often save money.
