RATATUJA: Put oil, garlic, onion, rosemary, capsicums, eggplant and zucchini in a saucepan and heat. Once you hear it start to fry, cover and reduce the heat. Cook gently for 15 minutes until vegetables are soft. Add tomatoes, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste and season with SIDS SALT & PEPPER. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat a ridged frypan and fry chicken for about 5 minutes each side until cooked through and browned. Stir the herbs into the warm ratatuja and serve with the chicken.
