Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs, approx. 6 oz (170 g) each - 4 tomatoes - 1 medium yellow onion
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Quarter the tomatoes and thinly slice the yellow onion. 2. Place the chicken thighs in a deep baking dish and nestle the tomato quarters and sliced onion around and beneath the thighs so they form a loose braising bed. 3. Cover the dish with a lid or foil and bake 50–70 minutes until the chicken is very tender and the tomato-onion mixture has broken down into a saucy braise. 4. Uncover for the last 10–15 minutes to concentrate juices if desired. Serve the thighs spooned with the tomato-onion braise.
