Italian Tomato Sauce Chicken Pieces Recipes

This is a great Italian chicken recipe, delicately flavored with herbs and garlic in a tomato based sauce. The chicken is browned, and then cooked with the rest of the ingredients until all the flavors have mingled well. Similar to both crockpot chicken recipes and chicken casserole recipes, this Italian chicken cooks very slowly for a long time until it is succulent, flavorsome and ready to serve over delicious, piping hot spaghetti.

Italian Style Chicken in Herby Tomato Sauce

Ingredients -

4 lbs chicken pieces
1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons snipped parsley
8 oz tomato sauce
6 oz tomato paste
½ cup chopped onion
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 cans diced tomatoes, 14-½ oz each
¼ teaspoon ground red pepper
2 ½ teaspoons salt
8 oz spaghetti, cooked and drained
Grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation:

Wash the chicken and pat dry.

Season with a teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the black pepper.

Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a skillet or Dutch oven and brown the chicken pieces all over.

Remove the chicken and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the onion and cook until tender.

Add the chicken, garlic, tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, the rest of the salt, pepper, and the parsley. Cover and cook over a very low heat for an hour or an hour and a half, until the chicken is tender.

Stir now and then and add some water if necessary.

Skim off the excess fat and serve over the hot, cooked spaghetti with the basil and Parmesan sprinkled over.
