A deli rotisserie chicken makes putting this meal on the table easy enough. I love the fresh crunch of the whole grapes. It offers a burst of juicy sweetness between bites of savoury meat and vegetables.

1/4 -1/2 cup chopped parsley/coriander leaves

Method
In a deep pot, over high heat, fry the onions, red bell peppers and celery in oil until soft.
Add the chicken stock/water+chicken stock granules, potatoes, carrot, dried oregano and ground black pepper.
Cover and bring to a boil. Uncover. Continue to cook over medium-heat until potatoes and carrot are soft. The liquid should have reduced by ~1/4 - 1/2.
Add 3/4 cup milk and when it comes to a simmer, add the cut up chicken, nestling it at the bottom of the pot. Top up with more milk if necessary to bring the liquid halfway up the sides of the chicken.
Bring it back to a simmer so that the chicken is heated through. Taste for saltiness and add salt now if required.
Stir in the grapes. Turn off the burner. Dress with the parsley/coriander leaves and any of the optional ingredients: cut chillies, crushed dried chillies, capers, cut lemons.
Serve.
Tips
This is very much a meal on its own as it has proteins, vegetables, carbohydrates and even a fruit! However, the sauce is really tasty and to stretch it further, you could choose to serve it with:
What's this? Osmanthus biscuits.

- Buttered pasta (fettuccine is my favourite as the larger surface area allows maximum sauce absorption)
- Butter rolls
- Buttered rice

This sounds easy and yummy
