braised chicken and pasta

Posted here, mostly for posterity...

K and I went to the farmers market this morning in Portsmouth and picked up some awesome fresh produce. Dinner tonight involved a fair bit of it..

Ingredients:
5-6 baby carrots (real ones, not the machine made ones), sliced
6 roma tomatoes, diced
handful of cherry tomatoes, cut up (they were in the fridge...)
5 garlic scapes
2 breasts of chicken, sliced
splash balsamic vinegar
shake of onion powder
2T olive oil

combine everything except chicken in a saucepan, let simmer for about 2 hours. Add some water if the pot seems to be drying out. Put a little sauce in the bottom of a casserole dish, layer chicken on top, cover with the rest of the sauce, and bake, covered, at 350F for about 40 minutes. It won't hurt it any to go longer though. cook whatever kind of pasta you want, and serve the chicken over it.
