Chicken Cacciatore

Quick, easy & fresh version - no need to heat oil in a skillet & brown your chicken!!



Have ready:
3-4 red potatoes, quartered & partially cooked in salted water:  bring to a boil, simmer for 8-10 minutes, drain.
8-10 pcs. of chicken (with bone)

Heat your oven to 375ยบ.
Grease a 9X13" baking pan.

If the chicken has an excessive amount of skin/fat on it, remove at least half (or all) of it.
In the pan, arrange the chicken pcs., season with S&P.
Slice up a small onion and scatter it over the chicken, do the same with a few Tblsp. minced green pepper and 2 cloves of minced garlic. If you love mushrooms, add a handful of thinly sliced mushrooms too.

In a bowl, combine 2 cups of chopped tomato (with its juices), 1/2 tsp. dried oregano, 1 Tblsp. fresh basil (or 1/2 tsp. dried basil). S&P - spoon it over the chicken.
Place the partially cooked potatoes around the chicken.
Drizzle 2 T. olive oil over everything.
Cover and bake for 50 minutes.
Remove from oven - uncover and bake for another 20-30 minutes, until the potatoes begin to turn golden.
