Creamy Tomato Chicken Drumsticks

So… a long time ago these chicken drumsticks were seared, then bathed and simmered in a creamy and rich tomato sauce. So long ago that I had to go back into my drafts archive folder to pull this out. Well, actually my daughter pulled this one out. She was all, “Mum, are you crazy? Why haven’t you posted this one?”

A tomato sauce so creamy, we love serving this over rice or quinoa! Add sliced mushrooms with broccoli pieces for added texture and flavour, and dinner is served.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 onion , finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic , crushed
  • 8 chicken drumsticks
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup mushrooms
  • 1 ripe tomato , diced
  • 1 x 420g | 15oz can condensed tomato soup (or Passata | also know in the U.S as Tomato Sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tub reduced fat or fat free cream cheese (substitute with greek yogurt for a healthier option)
  • Chives to garnish

Instructions

  • Fry the onion and garlic in a large skillet/frying pan until fragrant and soft. Add in the chicken drumsticks and fry while turning occasionally to brown on all sides. Add the broccoli, mushrooms and tomato, and continue to cook until the broccoli just begins to change colour and the tomato softens.
  • Pour in the soup; reduce heat and allow to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Add in the tomato paste, stirring to thicken the sauce. Continue simmering for a further 5 minutes, or until the chicken is soft and tender. Take off heat, stir the cream cheese (or greek yogurt) through and serve over rice or quinoa!

    I was wondering what temperature to fry the chicken – high? And about how long will it take to do this before you add the veggies? I think I did something wrong, the chicken came out a bit tough, I think I probably overcooked it.

    So my dish came out creamier than the picture shown and I followed the recipe exactly the way it is. Maybe I put too much cream cheese? But it says 1 tub, which I assume is 8 oz? Still delicious! 🙂

      I’m not sure what could have changed the consistency Criss. It could be different products give different results, but I’m so happy you enjoyed it!

    How many ounces/cups are in the tub of cream cheese? I plan to use Greek yogurt for the healthier option but the recipe doesn’t state the size of the tub. Thanks!
