Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat two tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and garlic and saute over medium-low heat until tender but not brown.

  2. Step 2

    Increase heat to high, add the tomatoes and cook until they have softened and much of the liquid in the pan has evaporated, about five minutes. Remove from heat and stir in capers, anchovies, olives, oregano and red peppers. Stir in vinegar and remaining tablespoon of oil. Allow sauce to cool to room temperature.

  3. Step 3

    Mix chicken with the cooled tomato sauce, season to taste with salt and pepper as desired and garnish with basil.

Served over bucatini for three generous portions. Didn’t, and wouldn’t, change a thing!

Tasty. Doesn’t seem like 4-6 servings to me!
