Chicken Cacciatore

by Diana

chicken
flour
salt and pepper
1 can tomatoes
1 diced green pepper
1 diced onion
bayleaf
garlic
boullion cube

Pat the chicken dry, season with salt and pepper and dredge in flour. Shake off the excess flour and brown over medium high heat until the chicken is brown on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pan. Saute the pepper and onion until soft, add the tomatoes, garlic, bay leaf and the boullion cube and stir the sauce. Add the chicken back into the pot and simmer for 20 minutes. Meanwhile cook some spagetti and once it is done, drain and add butter and parmesan. Toss some of the sauce in with the spagetti and serve the chicken and spagetti with the rest of the sauce.

Note: I think originally I found a recipe for this in Glamour or Seventeen magazine and made it for Saturday night supper a few times. The piece of paper the recipe is written on likely spent some time as a message pad next to the phone as it has quite a few messages and phone numbers on it, including an interview appointment with my first post university job.
