This chicken was amazing. The clean eating/dairy free aspect doesn’t change the quality or taste whatsoever. So good. There is about 15-20 minutes of prep work, but after that it cooks in the oven and is fall off the bone tender.

Add the chicken back into the sauce, scooping the onions and tomatoes over the top of the chicken. Try to fit the chicken in a single layer, if possible.
