Hunter's-Style Chicken with Rosemary

Copyright 2013 LtDan'sKitchen blogs

There is nothing more delightful than a simple dish cooked in a very straightforward manner using really good ingredients. What comes off it is nothing short of amazing. Take this dish for instance. It is basically made up of 4 ingredients: chicken, rosemary, garlic and diced tomatoes. The steps required to complete the dish is very basic and even if you are a most likely candidate for the show Worst Cooks in America, you might just ace this one. 

Straight off from Lidia's website, There was nothing to modify other than to add a simple garnish of basil leaves. I was indulging myself since a friend gave me fresh basil leaves from an organic garden and they smelled heavenly. It was just begging to be used in a culinary way. 

Hunter's-Style Chicken with Rosemary - Adapted*

2-3 lbs chicken cut up
1/3 cup olive oil
3 cup diced tomatoes, canned
1 tsp rosemary, dried
8 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced thinly
salt and pepper

1. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Set aside.

2. In a deep skillet over medium heat, brown the chicken in the olive oil. Do 
    this in batches if necessary. 

3. Once the chicken pieces are browned, add the garlic and the rosemary 
    into the oil and saute until the garlic has turned golden brown. 

4. Pour the diced tomatoes and add about a cup of water to loosen the 
    sauce.

5. Bring to a boil and once boiling, cover the skillet and decrease the heat to 
    medium low. Simmer for about 30 minutes. 

6. Check for flavor and adjust accordingly. The dish is ready when the sauce 
    is fairly think but still loose.
