I have never made a meal with chicken thighs before last night. For some reason, they are not appealing to me so when a recipe calls for them, I usually substitute with chicken breasts. Well, I decided to try thighs as they are said to have a lot of flavor and that they did. This dish was great and very easy to prep. The sauce turned out to be a deep, rich red and was rich and thick and just Divine. The chicken was moist and tender and had great flavor, too. Another "winner, winner chicken dinner" in our home!

Pour off all but 1 tablespoon grease/oil. Add onions and garlic to pan and stir around to cook, about 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in marinara sauce and stir to heat. Add chicken thighs back into the sauce. Cover and place pan in the oven for 1 1/2 hours. (You may also simmer on the stovetop on the lowest heat possible.)
