Changes, Mistakes and Substitutions
I made half quantities (except for the onion) and skipped the coriander. At half quantities it was definitely a little over cooked, even at 35 minutes.

Verdict
As noted, this was a bit over-cooked. There wasn't really quite enough for two - the recipe suggests serving with additional tortilla fillings. I'm in two minds about it. I like the idea of having something vegetarian to go in tortillas and it was nice enough even over-cooked, but I'm not convinced it was so nice it's worth the effort of another go to get right and see what it's like then.

Braised Chicken Thighs with Tomato and Garlic

[musesfool]

I've had my eye on this recipe for Braised Chicken Thighs with Tomato and Garlic for a while and finally made it today.

( ingredients and instructions )

This is really good and really easy. Definitely recommended! The only change I made was to use a 28 oz. can of diced tomatoes rather than a 20 oz pack, because that is what I had on hand, so I simmered it about 10 minutes longer to get rid of the excess liquid. Also, I didn't bother with orzo since I was just feeding myself. I can definitely see myself making it regularly, but probably with boneless/skinless thighs, since those are easier to deal with for me.
