    This rustic dish has its origins in the Italian region of Tuscany,
    using simple ingredients to their very best. The chicken is cooked
    with robust flavours of garlic, rosemary and chilli, served on
    delicious bruschetta.

    Season the chicken chunks with salt & pepper and dust with plain
    flour. In a large heavy-based frying pan, heat the extra virgin olive
    oil. When hot, add the floured chicken chunks and seal well on all
    sides for a couple of minutes until golden-brown and quite crisp.

    Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic and rosemary, cover with a
    lid and cook for 30 minutes, turning the chicken from time to time.
    Raise the heat to high, remove the lid, add the wine and simmer until
    it has evaporated.

    Check the chicken is cooked; the flesh should come easily away from
    the bone and there should be no sign of pink when you pierce the
    thickest part. Skim off the oil from the top and set aside.

    For the bruschetta, toast some slices of bread, immediately rub them
    with the garlic and then drizzle with some of the reserved olive oil.
    Serve the chicken with the bruschetta.
