WEIGHT WATCHERS Greek Cinnamon Chicken!

This sounds weird, and I was hesitant to try it, but it is YUMMY!!!!

1 T olive oil

2 onions, chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

Six 4-ounce skinless chicken thighs (tastes better with bone-in chicken. If using boneless, it won't need to cook for as long)

One 14 1/2 ounce can diced tomatoes (no salt added)

1/4 cup dry white cooking wine

2 bay leaves

1 cinnamon stick

1/2 Tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 Tsp black pepper

1/4 Tsp salt

6 cups hot cooked couscous

1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Add the onions and garlic; cook, stirring as needed, until softened, about 5 minutes.

2. Add the chicken, tomatoes, wine, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, ground cinnamon, pepper, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, stirring as needed, until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Serve the couscous, topped with the chicken and sauce.
