Sunday Night Family Dinner

Dinner tonight was Chicken Cacciatore over Trader Joe's whole wheat couscous. This dinner is definitely a labor of love. We had family over tonight to watch the 49ers game so it was worth the extra effort.

Serves 4

Ingredients
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
4 TBSP olive oil
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup flour
salt and pepper
1 yellow onion (diced)
1 red pepper (sliced into 1-inch long strips)
1 lb button mushrooms sliced or quartered
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatos
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley
1 tsp oregano


Instructions
1. Put flour, salt and pepper in large plastic bag. Place chicken thighs in bag one at a time and shake until well coated.
2. Heat olive oil in a dutch oven. When oil is hot, add chicken thighs. Fry until crispy brown on both sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
3. Add onion and peppers. Cook until onions are translucent.
4. Add chicken thighs back to pot. Add salt, pepper and oregano. Pour canned tomatoes and white wine over chicken. Cover pot and bring to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes.
5. After 30 minutes of simmering, add mushrooms and parsley.  Simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve over whole wheat couscous.
