Moist and tender chicken thighs make a delicious hot entree for winter months. Just add a salad and a lemon dessert. I set the table with warm, sunny Mediterranean shades and patterns that look gorgeous with this colorful meal.

1 teaspoon salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, julienned
1 can (10-1/2 ounces) condensed beef consomme, undiluted
1/2 cup dry vermouth or orange juice

In a small bowl, combine the butter, herbes de Provence, salt, garlic and pepper; rub over chicken.
Place in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add the onion, tomatoes, consomme and vermouth. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until chicken is no longer pink. Add olives and orange peel. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes.
Remove chicken to a serving platter; keep warm. Remove meat and vegetables to a serving platter; keep warm. Skim fat from cooking juices; transfer to a small saucepan. Bring liquid to a boil.
Combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually stir into the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Pour over chicken. Sprinkle with basil, pimientos and parsley. Yield: 6-8 servings.

Editor's Note: Look for herbes de Provence in the spice aisle.

i can not express how delicious this is. i could eat it weekly! My husband says this is one of his favorites. the ingrediants aren't things you generally have at home, however it is well worth the trip. i double it and have left overs!! so worth it. there aren't any stars for me to click on but this is definately a five.
