Making Braised Catalina Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Marinate Chicken: In a large bowl, combine chicken pieces with Catalina dressing. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor.
2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
3. Sauté Vegetables: In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, bell pepper, and carrots. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Brown Chicken: Remove chicken from marinade (reserve the marinade) and add it to the skillet. Brown the chicken on both sides for about 5 minutes per side.
5. Add Tomatoes and Spices: Pour in the diced tomatoes along with their juice, the reserved marinade, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
6. Cover and Braise: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil. Transfer it to the preheated oven.
7. Bake: Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
8. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll create an incredible Braised Catalina Chicken that will impress everyone at your table!
