What's For Dinner 2

Easy Cacciatore with Whole Wheat Fettuccine

started with a whole chicken and cut
it up into 10 parts (split breasts). However, use whatever
chicken you have if you are not comfortable
with butchery. I removed the skin as well.

Chicken:

season chicken parts with salt, pepper, garlic powder and let sit in bowl for 20 minutes
over medium heat, sear chicken parts to a golden brown.
set aside in casserole dish


Sauce:

1/2" dice zucchini and saute til golden in the same pan used to sear chicken
add 1 - 796ml can of tomatoes (whole, plum, stewed - your choice) with 2 tsps of tomato paste
season with s+p, 2 cloves crushed garlic, 2 tsp parsley flakes, 1 tsp oregano, 1 bay leaf.
bring sauce to boil.
add to chicken in casserole

Bake covered in a 350F oven for 25 minutes

remove chicken from sauce and rest covered with foil
cook fettuccine to desired texture
add pasta to sauce and toss. add optional parmesan

Place pasta n' sauce in serving dish and place chicken on top of pasta

....Easy cacciatore n' fettuccine!!!
