This dish goes great with some cooked spinach or on top of spaghetti noodles. I made it tonight and it took about 45 minutes (prep and cook time). Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

Produce:

  • Chicken thighs (1-1 1/2 lbs)
  • Yellow onion – medium, diced
  • Green pepper – diced
  • Garlic – 2 cloves, minced
  • Mushrooms – 1 can, sliced
  • Parsley (optional) – for garnish

Pantry:

  • Olive oil – 2 tbsp
  • Flour – 1/4 cup
  • Salt – 1/4 tsp.
  • Pepper – 1/8 tsp.
  • Paprika – 1/8 tsp.
  • Spaghetti sauce – 2 cups
  • Diced tomatoes – 1 cup (or more if you want your sauce more fluid)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Mix the flour, salt, pepper and paprika in a bowl and coat the chicken thighs with this mixture.
  2. Brown the chicken thighs in a pan with oil.
  3. While the chicken thighs are browning, have another pan on medium heat and begin to cook the onion, garlic and green pepper for 3-5 minutes. Then add the mushrooms, diced tomatoes, spaghetti sauce and mix.
  4. Once the chicken has been browned, drain the oil and then pour the sauce on top.
  5. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer and let cook for 30 minutes.
  6. Top with parsley and serve over noodles.
