Chicken with Red Wine and Tomato Sauce

Ingredients:
4 large chicken thighs
1 medium onion - chopped
1 clove garlic - crushed
1/2 pt vegetable stock (I used 2 stock cubes)
1/4 pt red wine
5 closed cup mushrooms - sliced
5-6 cm chorizo sausage - sliced and quartered
1 tin chopped tomatoes
1 carrot - sliced
1 courgette - sliced
1/2 tsp plain flour
Splash of sunflower oil

Method:
Brown the chicken in the oil in a large pan/casserole dish on the hob
Remove the chicken from the pan and place to the side for a few minutes
Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook for a few minutes to soften
Add the wine, stock, carrot and tomatoes and bring up to the boil  
Return the chicken to the pan and simmer for 15 minutes
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and simmer for another 15 minutes
Stir in the chorizo and courgette and simmer for another 10 minutes
Place the flour into a cup and spoon into this about 5-6 tbsp of the sauce from the pan.  Mix together until smooth and then return this mix back to the pan and stir in to thicken the sauce slightly
Cook for a further 2-3 minutes 

Serves 4
Served with couscous 

I used mulled wine for this recipe as I had a bottle open and it worked really well.
