    The real osso buco is slow-cooked, complete with veal shanks and a medley of tomatoes, perhaps a hint of wine... Our take is slightly different; after all, chicken does have a tendency to make it more often into our homes and onto our plates.

    We can save the veal for a fancy night out and focus on the poultry at hand.

    Tomatoes are one of those tricky foods - for someone with a nightshade intolerance or an autoimmune condition, you should best avoid them altogether.

    If you have the smell and taste of tomatoes on your mind and your Italian food cravings aren't going away, then we highly recommend a hearty chicken marsala to whisk those desires away.

    Yet, when tomatoes are in season, they are hard to resist! Plus, they are rich in vitamins A and C, along with many other antioxidants that help keep you young - just remember that heat destroys some of their beneficial properties, so serve some raw as a garnish.

    This can be a fun event, especially when you are searching for some colorful, and flavorful, heirloom varieties to liven up your plate.

    Serve with some mashed cauliflower, or potatoes, and make sure to double the batch of everything! This chicken Osso Bucco is fabulous for leftovers and seconds, which we are sure will be asked for, so be prepared to plan/shop/cook ahead.
