In my neverending quest to find ways to spice up chicken, I found this tasty gem from the folks over at footfit.com. I adjusted a few of the ingredients to
make them just a but healthier. Be sure to use as many organic ingredients as possible. We
want to try to get as much natural and good food in our system, whenever possible.

The following recipe serves 4. Just make sure you invite me over when you make this ; -)

Preparation time : 15 minutes
Cooking time : 40 minutes

Ingredients

Organic olive oil cooking spray
1 pound skinless, boneless cage-free chicken thighs
sea salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup white wine
1 large yellow onion, sliced
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 parsnips, peeled and sliced into rounds
1 bay leaf
2 cups organic chopped, canned Italian tomatoes with their juice

Cooking Instructions

1. Spray generous amount of cooking spray in large skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
While the skillet heats, season the chicken with sea salt and pepper.
Add the chicken to the pan and brown on all sides.
As the chicken pieces finish browning, transfer them to a plate and set aside.

2. Add the wine, letting it boil rapidly for a minute and then stir with a wooden spoon
to remove any browned bits that may be stuck to the pan.

3. Turn the heat to medium and add the onion and celery.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to wilt, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes.

4. Return the chicken to the skillet and add the carrots, parsnips,
bay leaf and canned tomatoes with juice.
Adjust the heat so that the mixture simmers slowly and place a lid,
slightly ajar, over the skillet. Cook until the chicken is completely tender,
about 25 minutes. Taste the cooking liquid and adjust the sea salt and pepper.

5. Serve the chicken and vegetables in warm bowls.
