This is an easy low-sodium dish that is very flavorful.
- Ingredients:
- 4 chicken thighs, boneless with skin removed
- 1 ½ tsp. garlic powder
- 1 ½ Tbsp. Mrs Dash Chicken Grilling seasoning
- 1 ½ tsp. parsley
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- ¼ cup green pepper, chopped (optional)
- ½ cup water
- 1 can no-salt-added tomato sauce
- Combine garlic powder, Mrs. Dash Chicken Grilling seasoning, and parsley in a plastic bag. Shake bag to mix well.
- Add chicken pieces to the plastic bag and shake to coat evenly.
- Then place coated chicken pieces, onions, and (optional) green pepper in a heavy skillet with a lid. Add water and heat on medium-high until the water is boiling.
- Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
- Turn the chicken pieces and cook 10 minutes more. (check after 5 minutes to make sure the skillet doesn't get dry. If it's too dry, add a tablespoon or so of water.)
- Pour tomato sauce over chicken. Continue cooking until chicken is cooked through (10 -15 more minutes, adding a tablespoon of water if needed to keep it from getting too dry.)
- Serve chicken and sauce with pasta or rice.
