Everyone Will Love This Chicken with Potatoes and Tomatoes Recipe

Some people love to sell tomatoes short. We don't. With the right recipe, tomatoes can be the star of any dish. They can help bring an otherwise bland and boring dinner to life. That's exactly what they do in this chicken and potatoes recipe.

Chicken and potatoes is a fairly classic meal. Chicken is one of the most popular meats in America, and potatoes have been a staple on dinner tables for centuries. Plain chicken and potatoes certainly make for a boring meal, so we've decided to spice things up.

The use of various spices, garlic, and tomatoes makes this dish much more flavorful and robust than ordinary chicken and potatoes. It will leave your family satisfied, while still providing them with a meal that's equal parts hearty and healthy. This is a great meal to make for a cold evening!
