Creamy Tomato Chicken<\/strong> drumsticks simmered in a rich sauce that\u2019s full of flavor and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This chicken in tomato sauce is the kind of recipe that makes you want to grab a spoon and soak up every drop over fluffy rice or a bowl of quinoa. I love tossing in mushrooms and a few broccoli florets for extra texture and color. It\u2019s a hearty meal that is ready with minimal effort and always disappears FAST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes This Recipe Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I know you are here for a quick and easy recipe, and this tomato chicken is one of my favorites when I’m looking for the exact same thing. I love that you get a deep, slow-cooked flavor, but the whole thing is done in exactly 30 minutes<\/em>. The method here is simple: you sear the chicken drumsticks first to build up flavor in the pan, then let them simmer directly in the liquids. Browning the meat and then lifting those browned bits off the bottom of the skillet creates a great base fast without needing to simmer for hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a straightforward chicken tomato recipe you can make for busy nights. Because it is a simple chicken in tomato sauce, it gives you a lot of options for serving. The sauce reduces down as it cooks, becoming thick enough to coat the chicken and the vegetables. You will want to spoon this chicken with tomato sauce over plain rice or pasta, or just use a piece of bread to clean your plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I usually just serve this soup with a side of bread, but on nights when I want something really filling, I turn it into a baked tomato pasta loaded with cheese<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
