Ingredients

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

1 chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds), rinsed, patted dry, and cut into 8 serving pieces

2 cans (15 ounces each) tomato sauce

3 sprigs fresh rosemary, needles removed

1/4 teaspoon garlic salt

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper; add to pan. Cook until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, rosemary needles, and garlic salt; turn chicken to coat. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until chicken is cooked through and tender, about 40 minutes.
