Tomato Chicken


I had a chicken that needed to be cooked. I wanted to make a caccaitore or coq au vin but had no celery and carrot. I made this with what I had: a can of tomato, bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, garlic, chili pepper, onion and red wine. The chicken was first salt, pepper and floured then browned before adding the onion and garlic; then went the herbs and wine; finally the tomato. Then I though, "this calls for some wild mushrooms," so in also went a couple pinches of broken up wild mushroom mix (boleti, lobster, morel, and others). I had a half box of cut macaroni so that becomes the starch. It is surprisingly good and quick.
