chicken and potatoes in tomato sauce

With a little bit of winter still ahead of us, some rustic, fresh and satisfying meal is what I desire all the time.

If you are like me, you might really enjoy this lovely and nourishing tomato sauce based dish. Inspired by a traditional Spanish salsa recipe, it wonderfully combines the simple yet luscious tastes of onion, garlic, olive oil, parsley, tomatoes, chicken and potatoes.

Serve with a slice of fresh white bread and you’ll love it… of that I am completely sure.

You can find all the details below.

Enjoy!

With lots of love,
