This is such an easy way to cook a chicken. After the initial browning, which develops the flavour and visual appeal and speeds up the cooking, the chicken looks after itself and emerges fragrant and fork-tender.
Fish baked on a layer of potatoes, onions, tomatoes, olives and herbs stays moist and is really tasty, absorbing the hints of salt from the olives and the sweetness from the onions. Choose potatoes that will hold their shape after cooking.
