IMG_20150928_135626

Ingredients:

  • 2 lb. Boneless Skinless chicken thighs
  • ground cinnamon
  • dash of salt & peppa
  • 5 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cups water
  • One 6 oz. can of tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning

Directions

  1. Rinse & trim the chicken; pat dry. Season both sides with cinnamon, salt, & pepper.
  2. Heat a straight-edge pan (the one with sides that go straight up) on medium-high. Spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Brown chicken on both sides (2-3 minutes each), removing them onto a plate. Do this in batches to prevent overcrowding- it’ll produce too much liquid and you’ll be unable to brown the chicken.
  3. In the same pan (now empty), add the onions and 3/4 of your garlic. Stir until garlic is golden brown.
  4. Deglaze the pan with the water and loosen the stuck on bits. Add the tomato paste, the rest of the garlic, and italian seasoning.
    5. Return the chicken to the pan. Cover. Simmer on medium heat for about 30 to 40 minutes. Add water to the sauce if it’s too thick for you. Serve over brown rice and roasted vegetables.
