Capers, golden raisins and fresh basil give this dish a sweetly savory flavor. And what's better than that? The kids LOVE it.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (4 ounces each)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup marsala wine
  • 8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • hot cooked couscous

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; brown chicken on both sides in batches, adding oil as needed. Transfer chicken to a 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker.
  2. Add wine to the skillet, stirring to loosen browned bits; pour into slow cooker. Stir mushrooms, red pepper, onion, and tomatoes, raisins and capers into slow cooker.
