Add whole plum tomatoes, ½ the tomato paste, red wine, balsamic vinegar and sugar to the pot. Sprinkle in dried herbs and red pepper flakes, to taste. Try it and add more if desired. Bring to a boil.
Carefully place chicken inside the tomato sauce and top with provolone cheese slices and grated parmesan. Place lid on and bake for 1 hour.
Cook pasta while the Chicken Parmesan bakes. Toast the bread, if desired.
To serve, place pasta on a plate or good-sized pasta bowl. Top with a braised chicken thigh and spoon over your desired amount of sauce. Feel free to sprinkle some additional parmesan cheese on top. Enjoy with crusty bread and (optional) mushrooms as a side.
