--------------------------------------------------------------------
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 chicken thighs, skinless
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoons pepper
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can crushed tomatoes in thick puree
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon lemon-pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
Pat chicken dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Brown the chicken, meat-side down first, and turning once, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate to reserve.
Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the pan.
Add onion to the pan and saute until tender, roughly 3 minutes. Add the stock and wine and stir, scrapping any brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Turn heat to high and reduce by half, about 3 minutes. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add the dried herbs and lemon pepper. Add the chicken thighs back into the pan.Cover and cook on medium-low heat for 40 minutes.
Remove chicken from liquid and serve on hot buttered rice. Ladle the sauce on top and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Braised Cabbage & Carrots from Down Home with the Neeley's on the Food Network's Website
- 1 large head (about 3 pounds) green cabbage
- 4 slices extra-thick bacon, cut into 1-inch squares
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons Smash Seasoning, recipe follows
- 1 (10-ounce) bag baby carrots
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Core cabbage and chop into 2-inch pieces. Clean thoroughly and let drain.
In a large pot over medium heat, cook bacon halfway through. Cook's Note: It will release its fat and be lightly browned, but still moist.
Add the cabbage, water and Smash Seasoning. Cover and reduce to a simmer and steam 2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes. Drain water from pot and add carrots. Cover and simmer another 15 minutes, until carrots are tender. Add salt and pepper, to taste.

- 1/2 tablespoon lemon pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
Mix ingredients thoroughly and keep in a tightly sealed container for up to 6 months.

Herb Biscuits - I didn't realize how easy and quick biscuits are to make.
taken from Ina Garten's recipe on the food network website
- cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 pound (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, diced (I used salted and it was fine)
- 3/4 cup half-and-half (I used buttermilk instead)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh chives or fresh parsley leaves (You can use any herb or mix here)
- 1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is the size of peas. With the mixer on low, add the half-and-half or buttermilk and beat until just mixed. Add the herbs and mix until just combined.
Dump the dough out on a well-floured board and knead lightly into a rectangle 3/4-inch thick. Cut out rounds with a 2 1/2-inch round cutter and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush with the egg wash.
Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until the tops are browned and the insides are firm. Serve warm.
(these are GOOD!)
