Let's Cook!

Combine 2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 pepper and chicken thighs in a sealable container or bag. Shake to coat. Brown chicken on all sides in a stock pot with 2-3 tablespoons olive oil. Remove the chicken. Saute one diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 diced bell pepper until lightly brown. Add chicken back in, along with the can of tomatoes, 3/4 teaspoon oregano, and 1 cup chicken stock. Cover and simmer on medium low for 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Add 2 cups sliced mushrooms, and any more salt or pepper to taste. Simmer for 5-10 minutes more, until mushrooms are tender, but not mushy.

Serve hot over pasta with a side of fresh bread and spread. Offer Nilla wafers with fresh strawberries for dessert.
