BRUSH
Keeping It Clean

Okay, the holidays are over, the house has to be put back together and the family still expects a great dinner. Well, the Cookie Lady is still putting the cookie cutters away, so I went looking for an easy, quick dinner...and here it is. I hope you like it.

• medium to large onion, sliced thin
• 3 cloves fresh garlic, smashed to pulp
• 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

Cook the onion and garlic until the onion softens and turns translucent. Push the onion and garlic to the side of the pan.

Add

• 2 Tbsp. dark brown sugar

Stir into mixture, and let it bubble up for 1 minute. The sugar will melt first, then bubble.

Add

• 1 can stewed tomatoes
• 2 bay leaves
• Fresh ground pepper to taste
• 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 c. wine (red or white) or chicken broth

Assemble dish

Place in pan with

• 1 Rotisserie chicken, cut into eighths

Cover loosely and bake for 25 minutes at 350°. Uncover for an additional 10 minutes. Remove the bay leaves before serving. Serve with rice, noodles or even polenta.

Note: If the braces-wearing patient in your life needs a little extra protein (a good idea after an office visit) just sprinkle some cheese on top of the chicken for that last ten minutes.
