Fry off some onions and garlic then add a tin of chopped tomatoes, some worcestershire sauce, mustard seeds, paprika and tarragon. Brown off the chicken thighs and add them to the sauce. Cover and cook in the oven on 200 degrees for about 20-25 minutes or in the slow cooker if you prefer.
Chicken thighs are dark meat and not as low fat as the white meat in the first place.





Grill them on a George Foreman Grill or standard outside grill with Italian Dressing or bake in the oven.

Braised Chicken Thighs


From Fiona Haynes,





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.


INGREDIENTS:

* 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 saut茅 for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
