Method:

1. Heat the oil in a heavy-based frying pan over a high heat. Brown the chicken pieces in the oil in 2 batches.

2. When browned, reduce the heat to medium-high and place all the chicken in the pan. Cover the pan and leave to cook for about 10 minutes.

3. Turn the chicken pieces, spooning their juices over them. Sprinkle the garlic, shallots, half the herbs, salt and pepper over them. Cover again and cook for a further 8 minutes.

4. When cooked, lift the chicken pieces out with the cooked shallots, garlic and pan juices. Squeeze over the lemon juice, sprinkle with the remaining herbs and serve.
