Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. 1. ÊIn a large nonstick skillet, heat oil, add chicken. ÊCook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, 6 to 8 minutes, until golden and cooked through. ÊWith a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to bowl, set aside.
  2. 2. ÊAdd sausage to skillet, cook, stirring frequently, 8 to 10 minutes, until browned. ÊPour in vinegar, cook 1 to 2 minutes, until liquid evaporates. ÊAdd peppers, onion, garlic, basil and Italian seasoning, cook, stirring frequently, 4 to 5 minutes, until tender.
  3. 3. ÊStir in tomatoes, broth, cheese and capers, bring to a boil. ÊReturn chicken to skillet, reduce heat to low. ÊSimmer, stirring occasionally, 5 to 10 minutes, until sauce thickens slightly. ÊServe over pasta.
