  • ½ cup Chef’s Selection Classic—Delicate (black and white tin)

  • dry herbs mix (parsley, dill, basil), to taste

For the chicken

  • 6 bone-less chicken thighs, skinned

  • ¼ to ½ cup PJ Kabos Chef’s Selection Classic, for browning and cooking chicken pieces (personal taste determines the amount used)

  • ¼ tsp pepper, or to taste

  • ¼ tsp sweet paprika, or to taste

For the pasta

Preparation

For the tomato sauce: In a measuring cup, small bowl or beaker measure in the ingredients and mix with a spoon. Set aside.

For the olive oil marinade: In a small bowl, mix the ingredients. Marinate the chicken pieces for a few minutes (or several hours if placed in the refrigerator for later use).

To cook the chicken: To a large skillet, add Chef’s Selection Classic. Add the marinated chicken and brown nicely on both sides. Add the tomato sauce, return to fire, turn low and let it slowly simmer for 1 hour or until the red sauce is reduced to a thickened (and delicious!) mixture of tomato, herbs and olive oil.

Serve the chicken and pasta side by side and cover both with a few tablespoons of red sauce and fresh oregano sprinkled on top.
