4. Preheat oven to 350-F, 180-C degrees, or possibly Gas Mark 4.

6. Rinse the mushrooms and add in them and the olives to the chicken.
7. Finely chop the tomatoes if you're using fresh and not canned. Pour the tomatoes over the chicken, season generously, and bake, covered, for about an hour.
8. Brown the new potatoes in a frying pan in a little extra virgin olive oil and add in them to the chicken, making sure the potatoes are covered by the sauce. Bake for another 30 min.
