Instructions
 

  • Heat a large heavy casserole dish on medium high heat, then add a good drizzle of olive oil. Brown the chicken on both sides just until golden, then remove chicken from pot and set aside.

  • Return the chicken to the pot, arranging them in a single layer, then add the chopped tomato. Sprinkle over with sugar and add the rosemary and bay leaf on top.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover pot with lid and leave to simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • Uncover, season with salt and pepper to taste, then increase heat to medium and leave to cook until sauce has thickened, 10-15 minutes.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with soft polenta or crusty bread.
