Portuguese Chicken and Clam Cataplana

Ingredients:

2 tbsp Olive Oil

2 Garlic Cloves, chopped

1 Onion, chopped

450 g/1 lb boneless Chicken, cut into 12mm/1/2-inch cubes

90 ml/3 fl.oz. Fresh Chicken Stock or White wine

450 g/1 lb Fresh Clams in shells, scrubbed

Freshly chopped Parsley to serve

Cooking Instructions:

Heat the oil in a Cataplana or wide saucepan with a close fitting lid, add the onion and garlic and sauté gently over a medium heat until soft and transparent, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken turn to coat then cover with the lid and cook for about 10 minutes or until cooked through, turning once or twice during the cooking time. Add the stock and bring to simmering point. Add the clams, replace the lid and cook for five minutes, or until the clam shells have opened. Discard any clams which haven't opened, sprinkle with the chopped parsley and serve immediately.
