Heat olive oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
- 3
Add the chicken pieces to the pan along with the diced tomatoes and bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook over low heat for 30 minutes.
- 4
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a square baking dish.

Transfer the chicken pieces to the baking dish and coat them generously with mayonnaise on all sides.

Bake for 20–25 minutes until the mayonnaise is golden and the chicken is beautifully crispy. Serve hot with white rice or roasted potatoes.
💡 Chef's Tip
Mix a teaspoon of Dijon mustard into the mayonnaise before coating for an extra layer of flavor. Add potato wedges around the chicken in the baking dish for a complete one-pan meal.
