Chicken with tomato sauce

The secret to making me eat meat has always been only one: the sauce. Sinking the fork in a tender chicken bite and soak it into the sauce is something that gives me a unique satisfaction. It also happens to you?

Today we’re having  chicken in tomato sauce, often called “alla cacciatora”  according to my home recipe, great for Sunday lunch.
