Tonight for dinner, it's Chicken Thigh Osso Bucco, another one of my typical recipes. I got it from www.recipezaar.com and have been making my tweaked version of it for years. (Serves 4)
4 chicken thighs, skinned
1/2 onion, diced
couple carrots, peeled, sliced
couple celery ribs, sliced
couple garlic cloves, minced
1/2 c red wine
1 can diced tomatoes*
16 oz. marinara sauce*
1 tsp oregano
2 T parsley
-Dry the chicken thighs a la Julia Child and brown them in skillet. (If you dry meat with a paper towel, you don't need oil to brown it.)
-Remove thighs from pan, sweat veggies & garlic, cooking until soft.
-Deglaze pan with red wine and simmer to reduce by half. Add tomato sauce, tomatoes, oregano & parsley.
-Cook until bubbly & return thighs to pan.
-Simmer 40-60 mins (the longer the better). Remove bones from thighs. Serve over noodles if desired.
Without the noodles, it's only 4 WW pts per serving. A well-defatted chicken thigh is only 2 points!
I doubled the recipe, dipping into the tomato and sauce supply even more. AND, tired of looking at the straggly bag of Trader Joe's freeze dried green beans in the pantry (I thought they'd be a good snack when I bought them. They're horrible!), I threw them in the pot as well during the last hour, getting me one small step closer to my goal.
Not a fancy dinner, but a yummy pantry-friendly one.
I have a turkey breast thawing for tomorrow, but I have no idea what I'm going to do with it yet. Stay tuned!
