Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 8 boneless chicken thighs, with skin
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 8 cloves garlic, halved
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 medium potatoes, sliced
  • 4 tomatoes, sliced

  • 8 pepperoncini peppers (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
