Instructions: Perfect with cooked long-grain rice or noodles

Note 1: Original recipe used 1 lb 2 oz skinned chicken parts. We like thighs so this is what we used and the MC counts are based on that.

In 4 qt microwavable casserole arrange chicken parts in a single layer in center of casserole. In 1 C liquid measure combine wine, brandy, and garlic and pour evenly over chicken. Cover with vented plastic wrap (I used a glass baking dish with lid) and microwave on Med-High (75%) for 5 min. Turn chicken pieces over; add onions; re-cover and cook on Med-High for 5 in, until inside of chicken is still pink.

In 1 C liquid measure combine water, tomato paste, and broth mix and stir to combine. Arrange mushrooms around chicken in casserole and sprinkle with flour; add tomato paste mixture and bay leaf. Re-cover and microwave on Med-High for 5 min, until chicken is tender and, when pierced with a fork, juices run clear. Stir in parsley, pepper, and, if desired, thyme and let stand 1 min. Remove and discard bay leaf.
