Chicken thighs are not as low fat as chicken breasts, but they are moist, succulent and rich, which means you really don't need to eat large portions.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 23 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of excess fat
  • 1/2 cup of seasoned flour (flour with 2 tsp dried herbs and freshly ground black pepper added)
  • 1 tbsp fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup of green beans
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 3/4 cup red wine
  • 1/2 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth

Preparation:

Dredge chicken thighs in seasoned flour. Heat oil on medium heat in large Dutch oven. Brown chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes. Transfer browned chicken to a plate. Add 1 tbsp chicken broth followed by veggies and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add red wine and chicken broth, cover and cook for 15 minutes until chicken thighs are cooked through and vegetables are tender.

Serves 4.
