This is a variation of Cooking Light recipe that came from my good friend. The original recipe is called “Braised Herb Chicken Thighs with Potatoes”. I modified the recipe to include a few more veggies and took out the potatoes. I also added some flax and turmeric. This can be served over plain brown rice, couscous or quinoa with the broth used as flavoring, making it a very simple almost one-pot meal.

Method
Combine first 8 ingredients in a plastic bag. Add chicken, close bag and shake to coat.
Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken and any remaining flour mixture to pan, and cook about 3 minutes on each side or until lightly brown. Add carrots, onion, pepper and garlic and cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add broth and white wine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 25-45 minutes (the more this is simmered the thicker and richer the sauce gets). Add green beans and cook an additional 10 minutes until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through. Serve over rice, couscous or quinoa.
