Source of Recipe


Tony (he got this recipe off the Martha Stewart Show)






Recipe Introduction


Tony is from Brazil and knows a good Cataplana. A cataplana is a copper Portuguese cooking pan, but in this recipe we use a Dutch oven and the final product is just fine! He says once again Martha's right on the mark with this recipe!





List of Ingredients



• 2 tbsp olive oil (or enough to coat the bottom of Dutch oven)
  
• 1 1/2 cups salsa (use your favorite red or green is okay)
  
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced.
  
• 2 whole, skinless, boneless chicken breasts (halved)
  
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced.
  
• 1 tsp dried oregano
  
• Salt and pepper to taste.
  






Instructions



1. Preheat your oven to 350.
   
2. Place the olive oil in the bottom of a Dutch oven and distribute to cover the entire bottom of the pan.
   
3. Add 1/2 of the salsa on top of the oil.
   
4. Next add the layer of potatoes. (thinly sliced - add a nice even layer)
   
5. Now lay your chicken breasts on top of the potatoes.
   
6. Next do a layer of onion slices.
   
7. Now do a layer with the remaining salsa.
   
8. Sprinkle oregano on top.
   
9. Salt and pepper to your taste.
   
10. Cover the Dutch oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours at 350.
