Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350F.

Wipe chicken pieces with a damp cloth; pat dry. Heat a little olive oil in a large, heavy skillet. When almost smoking, add chicken, season with salt, and saute until browned on both sides, turning from time to time.

Transfer chicken to a large, shallow baking pan. Combine tomatoes, tomato sauce, cinnamon and sugar in a processor; process briefly to mix. Pour over chicken.

Using the chicken drippings and any oil that is left in the pan saute onion in it for 2 min. Add mushrooms; saute until they are slightly softened. Spoon over chicken. Cover pan tightly with foil.

Bake for 1 1/2 hrs, or until chicken is very tender (it should be falling off the bone).

Serve garnished with parsley.

Serves 6

NOTES : It was sooooo good to eat something that I had control over making. This is very, very good!!
