Easy Sexy Thighs Low Carb Italian Chicken in Homemade Gravy
« on: August 30, 2015, 12:56:56 PM »
I love what tomato sauce (gravy in my home:) does to meats. Pork, beef, poultry all take on a different flavor when cooked in tomato gravy. Today I made braised chicken thighs in a wonderful homemade gravy. It's sitting in the pot now and the smell across the kitchen and throughout the house is mesmerizing!

Easy Sexy Thighs Low Carb Italian Chicken in Homemade Gravy



Ingredients

12 medium ripe tomatoes
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons of salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh chopped basil
2 tablespoons fresh chopped Italian parsley
4 skinned chicken thighs
additional salt and pepper as needed

Directions

1- Cut all the core ends off the tomatoes and quarter.
2- Place the tomato quarters into a blender and process till smooth.
3- Pour the processed tomatoes and all the spices except the fresh basil and parsley into a large sauce pot.
4- Add 1/4 cup of olive oil to the mix and bring to a rolling boil, boil till gravy reduces and thickens.
5- Salt and pepper the thighs, sprinkle Italian seasoning over them and braise well in a non stick skillet over medium high heat using the other 1/4 cup of olive oil.
6- When the thighs are well browned pour everything in the skillet into the gravy and bring back to a boil.
7- Add the fresh chopped herbs and stir.
8- Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes stirring to avoid sticking.
9- Shut off heat and leave covered on stove for 30 minutes.
10-Serve
