Tomato chicken
This is a quick weekday or holiday dinner. Put all the ingredients in the oven and let the flavours develop whether in the oven or on the stove top.
Fresh, good quality tomatoes are perfect for this recipe. If you have any that are on the edge of being overripe, that’s a perfect use for them. In the absence of very good tomatoes use canned ones, they will be better than fresh, tasteless cheap ones.
Serve with coucous. You can even cook the couscous in the sauce instead of water, that actually brings the dish to the next level. Or eat with fresh baguette dipping it in the sauce. That works perfectly especially if you have some French one.
