Chicken with tomato and basil

This chicken with tomato and basil is perfect for every day but especially to organize yourself on weekdays and eat healthy without having to ride anything special in the kitchen.

It is a very simple recipe that you can make in conventional saucepan and in slow wave that for me is perfect because I leave it running at night and in the morning the food is ready to take in the tupper to the office. And a saucepan will be ready in 35 minutes

Ingredients

1 kg chicken (before thighs I used)
two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves of garlic chopped very
half chopped onion
500g cherry tomatoes
1 can crushed tomato (you know that I like to use Mutti because it has 99.8% tomato and 0.02% salt, nothing more)
a bunch of fresh basil

Directions

In traditional saucepan:

In a saucepan, heat the oil and dothe chicken pieces. It's important that they give a good dose on both sides. When we have them ready, we take them out and set them aside.

In the same saucepan and with the same oil left of the chicken, let's salthe garlic lightly. Add the chopped onion and leave to sauté over a gentle heat until soft.

Now add the pre-washed cherry tomatoes. To let go of all the juice, I skewer them with the tip of a knife. In addition, add the crushed tomato and the finely chopped basil.

We move well and add the white wine. Let's boil and add the chicken. Cover and leave to cook over medium-low heat for about 25 minutes.

After this time, we take out the chicken and crush the sauce. Add some fresh basil leaves and return the chicken. We rectify salt and give a boil voila! Perfect to accompany white rice, potato kitchens or sauteed vegetables.

In Slow Pot

In the sauté function, heat the oil and dothe chicken pieces. It's important that they give a good dose on both sides. When we have them ready, we take them out and set them aside.

In the same function, let's salthe garlic slightly. Add the chopped onion and leave for about 5 minutes moving occasionally.

Now add the pre-washed cherry tomatoes. To let go of all the juice, I skewer them with the tip of a knife. In addition, add the crushed tomato and the finely chopped basil.

Move well and add the white wine and chicken. Cover and select the function of crock pot, high selection, 4 hours. Personally I love the low temperature function and 8 hours but I prefer it for larger meats.
