  • 1 (14.5 oz) can crushed tomatoes, drained
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  4. If needed, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and add red pepper flakes. Saute onion for 6-8 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
  5. During the last few minutes of cooking, add minced garlic and, stirring frequently so it doesn’t burn, cook until fragrant. 1 minutes.

  8. Stir in lemon juice and oregano and mix everything together to combine, then place in oven and bake for 27-30 minutes, or until chicken is completely cooked through.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes, then serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
