Nancy, I had some chicken thighs in the refrigerator I needed to use, along with a green pepper and some mushrooms. I formulated this recipe, and it was SO good, my husband and I are having it again tonight!

Elegant Chicken

4 Tbs. olive oil
6 chicken thighs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp. Cajun seasoning
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 onion, halved and sliced
1 bell pepper, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz. button mushrooms, sliced
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup rose wine
1/2 tsp. salt
4 oz. dried cranberries
1 cup pimento stuffed green olives

In a large saute pan, heat oil.

Combine flour, Cajun seasoning, and cinnamon in a ziploc bag. Add chicken, and turn bag several times, till chicken is well coated.

Place chicken in hot oil. Brown on both sides, and remove to a platter.

In pan with seasoned oil, add onion, pepper, and garlic. Saute about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and salt, and saute another 5-7 minutes. Add chicken broth and wine, and salt. Stir, to combine. Add cranberries and olives, and stir together well. Place chicken thighs on top, and cover. Simmer for 30-45 minutes, till chicken is done and juices run clear.

Serve with mashed potatoes.
