Chicken Caccitore

This is from my WW cookbook and is really dee-lish.

Ingredients:
6 pieces of chicken--any type you like, but about 3 1/2 pounds. I like boneless/skinless breasts.
olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
2 thinly sliced carrots, or about 10 baby carrots (if you have a Pampered Chef chopper use that!)
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 red and 1 green bell pepper, seeded, and chopped
3 cloves minced garlic
1-2 t dried marjoram, or oregano
1, 28 oz can, or 2, 14 oz cans Italian tomatoes, chopped.

Method:
Start the chicken off in some oil. Brown it about 3-5 mins a side. Remove this to a plate and start your veggies in the same pan/pot. Add all of your veggies to the pan, including spices. Stir till all are slightly soft and add tomatos, with the juice. Cook till the sauce has had a chance to thicken and become bubbly, about 5 mins. Add the chicken back in and cook for an additional 25 mins, or till the chicken is done thru. Serve over rice or potatoes.

Nutrition information: 1 serving = 1 pc chicken + 2/3C sauce; 273 cals; 10g fat; 3g fiber. WW points = 6.
