Worthy of a Special Occasion

This easy one-dish meal is prepared and cooked in only one pot, saving you space and cleanup. You can decrease the sodium by using less anchovy paste or by replacing it with the olives.

  • 1  tablespoon  olive oil
  • 2  cups  chopped onion (about 1 large)

  • 2  (14.5-ounce) cans no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 8  skinned, boned chicken thighs (about 1 pound)

This dish incredible, and even more so the next day. I altered the ingredients by adding a mixture of oregano and thyme, and by using one can, undrained, of fire roasted diced tomatoes. This has become my new favorite casserole!02/08/10

This was a bit of a production to put together, but once it was in the oven, your work is done. I browned both the potatoes and the chicken first, and used oregano as others suggested. I might try the thyme next time, or use a little less oregano as I thought it was a bit overwhelming. I used 4 cups potatoes, which was plenty, and kalmata olives since one guest didn't like anchovy paste. I think you could omit the potatoes, and serve it with mashed. Everyone enjoyed it and I would definitely make it again .09/30/09
