Add chicken, skin side up, and oregano, then transfer skillet to oven. Cook until chicken is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
A great weekday recipe. I used one of the many bags of frozen cherry tomatoes I had from my summer CSA and it was wonderful! I also only had boneless thighs available---still worked perfectly. I will definitely make this again.
Good basic recipe. I used a cajun seasoning on the thighs and it boosted the flavor a bit.
Very tasty- made with tomatoes from the garden & served with roasted spaghetti squash & sauteed green beans (also from my husband's garden). Followed directions and extremely pleased with results- will definitely make again!
This recipe sucks.
also want to add that I have always used fresh tomatoes for this...
I've made this dish many times, it is super easy, and super GOOD!! It's great served over brown rice, and any leftover sauce I might have I use for making spaghetti sauce or as a soup base. I've used dried oregano when I don't have any fresh, and it comes out just as good. Highly recommended!!
