Chicken Cacciatore

Family consesus is that this is definitely a "make again" dish. It was good!

1/2 C flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
10 chicken thighs skinned
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves minced
1 large onion sliced
1/2 green pepper chopped
28oz can Italian style tomatoes
1 tbsp dried parsley
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp ground thyme
2 C sliced mushrooms (or 1 284mL can)
salt and pepper to taste

In a plastic bag, combine flour, salt and pepper. Shake chicken in bag to coat.
In a large skillet, heat butter and oil. Add garlic and saute briefly.
Add chicken to pan; brown on all sides.
Add onion, pepper, tomatoes, parsley, oregano and thyme. Cover tightly, reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add mushrooms, salt and pepper. Continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until chicken is tender. Serve over rice, noodles, or polenta.
