Oven Chicken Cacciatore

Chicken cacciatore with carrots, potatoes and
 sausage makes this a great one-pot complete 
dinner. It's a family favorite pot luck recipe 
from my nieces. It's so easy to put everything
 together and just pop it in the oven. 
I love dinners like this.
Everything is prepped ahead of time and it makes
 your whole house smell wonderful.
You can use any chicken pieces you want,
or use a whole cut-up chicken and increase
 the other ingredients depending on how many
 people you are feeding.
 No need to measure the seasonings,
just be generous.
 Add the cut-up vegetables.
 Combine the tomato sauce and water.
 Pour the sauce over.
Cover tightly with foil and bake for
1 hour at 350 then 1 hour at 275.
The chicken and sausage stewing in the 
tomato sauce gives it lots of flavor.
Here it is using a whole cut-up chicken.
This is how I usually make it. Plenty of
leftovers for us. A great fall
and winter dinner

Oven Chicken Cacciatore
2 large chicken breast halves 
or cut-up pieces, skinned
4 Italian sausage links, cut in half
4 carrots, peeled
4 potatoes, scrubbed not peeled
1 L yellow, red, or orange pepper
1 t Italian seasoning
1 t salt
1/2 t pepper
1  L can (16-oz) tomato sauce
1 can water
Lay the chicken in a 9x13 casserole. Sprinkle with 
about half of the seasonings. No need to measure.
 Add the sausage. Cut the vegetables into large 
chunks; add to the casserole. Sprinkle with the 
remaining seasonings. Combine the tomato sauce
 and water; pour over all and cover tightly with  
foil. Bake for 1 hour at 350 then reduce to 275
 and bake another 1 hour. To make serving easier; 
remove the bone from the chicken breast and
cut in half. Serve 1/2 chicken breast with
 sausage, vegetables, and plenty of sauce.
....4 servings....
Enjoy!
