Chicken And Potatoes In Tomato Sauce Recipe

Prep Ingredients

1. Wash and peel 3-4 medium potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized chunks. 2. Slice 1 onion finely. 3. Mince 3-4 cloves of garlic. 4. Prepare 4 chicken thighs or breasts, trimming any excess fat.

Cook Chicken and Prepare Sauce Base

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. 2. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside. 3. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add Potatoes and Tomato Sauce

1. Add the potato chunks to the skillet and stir to combine with the onions and garlic. 2. Pour in 1 can (15 oz) of tomato sauce and 1 cup of chicken broth. Stir well. 3. Add salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs (such as rosemary or thyme) to taste.

Simmer and Cook

1. Return the browned chicken pieces to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce and potatoes. 2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. 3. Simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

Serve

1. Once cooked, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. 2. Serve the chicken and potatoes hot, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
