Chicken - it's what's for dinner (Saturday)
I wanted to make chicken cacciatore, but every recipe was different so
I made up my own version.
I wanted to start with stewed tomatoes because they have green
peppers, onions and herbs already, but I only had canned diced
tomatoes so I went with that. I whizzed up 3/4 of the can in the food
processor and left the rest chunky. Added garlic, oregano and some
Italian seasoning.
I cut up the partially frozen chicken (breasts) into slices about 1/2
inch thick. Seasoned with salt and pepper, sauteed them quickly in
olive oil until lightly browned (set aside). I like using meats that
aren't completely thawed because I can brown them w/o over cooking.
After that I sautéed up some onion and kept it in the pan. Then I
dumped my tomato mixture and the chicken in and continued cooking
until the chicken was done (but not over done).
I served this on a bed of whole wheat linguini. Hubby pronounced it
delicious and said it tasted like spaghetti with chicken. <sigh>

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.
