In the food processor put the onions , the tomato , salt and pepper , mix them well then add to the veggies.
put all the veggies in a large oven dish,add a cup of water, put the chicken over the vegetables ( if you are making it with veal or lamb then but it among the vegetables not over) and brush the chicken pieces with the oil.
