• 2 oz. (1/4 cup) butter
• 1 (15 oz.) can whole tomatoes
• 1 cup dry red wine
• 1/2 tsp. basil
• salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Melt butter in pan, add one finely chopped onion, crushed garlic, and chicken pieces. Cook until chicken is brown, turning often. Transfer to ovenproof dish, add undrained tomatoes, wine, basil, and peeled whole onions, salt, and pepper.

Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F) for 40 minutes or until chicken is tender. I sometimes serve this with spaghetti or just crusty bread.
