Dad has had to cook with what he has on hand these days. As Dad was rummaging through the pantry he noticed he had quite a few cans of San Marzano tomatoes.
Wanting to do something different than his Instant Pot Italian Sunday Sauce he came up with this dish, a tomato braised chicken served over some pasta. This is as easy as it gets.
You don't have to saute anything before you cook, just dump all the ingredients in the pot and give them a little stir then cook!
Take it up a notch
When the chicken came out Dad decided he wanted to add some color and texture to the chicken so he pulled out his new air fryer attachment and some parmesan cheese.
When it was all done it reminded him of the POLLO ALA PIRANDELLO that the had at the Epcot Festival of the Arts so he decided to serve it over a little bit of ricotta. Dad is going to revise this recipe and try and get it closer to that one in the future, but this is a delicious start!
