BAKED CHICKEN CACCIATORE

An abandoned can of stewed tomatoes in the pantry served as the inspiration for this baked chicken cacciatore. This is very easy to prepare and tastes amazing! This is delicious served over rice or pasta, but my favorite combination is with mashed potatoes. Feel free to “spice it up” in any way you’d like, but we enjoy it exactly this way.

Set aside fifteen minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

•  If you prefer, you can use a combination of chicken legs and thighs or skin-on chicken thighs in place of skinless chicken thighs.
• This can be quickly prepared on the stovetop by returning the chicken to the completed sauce, covering, and simmering for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken is done.
