Chicken Cacciatore

For this recipe you need a good sauce. Check out the Petrocelli Pasta Sauce or Caitlyn's lasagna sauce in this blog if you need inspiration. Or for you Norfolk folks, La Bella in Ghent sells a fantastic homemade tomato sauce!

Preheat oven to 375. Make a wet spice sauce with a little water, lots of basil, oregano, salt, pepper, crushed fennel, and garlic. Heat up some olive oil in a skillet on high heat. When it is good and hot, quickly brown 3-4 chicken breasts (whole, don't chop) then remove to a plate. Then quickly brown 2 zucchinis sliced and 1 onion sliced. In an 9x13 pan (a little smaller is fine), pour half your sauce on the bottom, place your veggies and chicken on next, pour over your wet spices, and then top with the rest of your sauce. Cover the pan and bake for 30-40 minutes. While it is still hot, lay some parmesan slices on top for melty cheese goodness.
