Braised Chicken with Tomatoes

Braised Chicken with Tomatoes! The more that I try to cook healthily the more I love it! I think we all get into a rut. We cook the recipes that have been passed down from our moms and grandmas.

I know, they can be the best recipes ever but sometimes we need to branch out and when we do, we find new treasures! That is what happened with this recipe. The chicken cooks until it’s fork-tender, which is great served with pasta, noodles, spaghetti squash, or polenta.

Eating healthy never tasted so good! This is an inexpensive dish the whole family will love!
