Chicken with Tomato Sauce (Domates Soslu Tavuk)

This is a special dish, which my husband cooked for me on this Valentine's Day.
4 chicken thighs/drumsticks
4 potatoes, peeled and sliced circularly
1 cup tomato, crushed
½ cup water
1 tsp tomato paste
1 tbsp salt to taste
¼ tsp basil
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp oil

Boil the chicken thighs in salty water, till they become soft. Then let them cool and place potatoes over a greased Pyrex or baking tray. Sprinkle 1 tsp salt and mix them.
Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C) and bake potatoes for 20-25 minutes till they are soft. Meanwhile in a small saucepan, sauté tomato paste with oil. And then stir in crushed tomatoes, remaining salt and water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes over low heat. Sprinkle the spices and turn the heat off.
Take the potatoes from the oven and arrange the boiled chicken over them. Then pour the tomato sauce all over. Place them back to oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Serve Chicken with Tomato Sauce warm.
ENJOY
