  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 yellow onions

Method

  1. Season the chicken with salt and brown it skin side down in the olive oil in a deep skillet, about 6 minutes. Set it aside.

  3. Add the garlic, italian seasoning and pepper flakes for one minute.

  4. Pour in the tomatoes, drop in the bay leaf and return the chicken skin side up.

  5. Cover partly and simmer 30 minutes, until the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened.

  6. Boil the rigatoni meanwhile and serve the chicken and sauce over it.
