Chicken Cacciatore

This is a new one I tried this week and it turned out great. It's a Weight Watchers recipe so it's not too bad for the waistline either.

-2 t olive oil
-4, 4 oz. skinless chicken thighs (I used 4 boneless/skinless chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces)
-1 onion, chopped
-3 garlic cloves, minced
-3 cups sliced mushrooms
-1 can diced tomatoes (14 1/2 ounce)
-1 green bell pepper, chopped (I used green and red peppers)
-6 ounce container tomato paste
-1 teaspoon oregano
-1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
-4 cups hot cooked spaghetti, pasta, or rice

In a large skillet, heat the oil. Cook the onion and garlic, stirring as needed, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken and brown 2 minutes on each side.

Add the mushrooms, tomatoes, bell pepper, tomato paste, oregano, and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring as needed. Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce heat to a simmer, covered, stirring as needed, until chicken is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes. Serve over pasta or rice.
