Craving for Food

I was craving Chicken Marengo this morning and so I went to the supermarket to buy fresh chicken thighs. I must be very hungry that I have bought a huge package consisting of 6 chicken thighs. Other ingredients I had in the pantry.
Chicken Marengo is a French dish made of chicken meat, garlic, onions, tomatoes and champignons and pizza spices. I made it my way. I mean I marinated the chicken meat with garlic, soy sauce and lemon juice for an hour before I fried them in the frying pan. When they were golden brown, I set them aside. With the same olive oil, I sautéed the onion and garlic and then returned the chicken meat in the frying pan. I then added tomato sauce and simmered the mixture in a low heat until the meat was tender. Then I added the champignon mushrooms. Tasted them with salt and pizza spices and served the meat with rice.
I have cooked a lot again. When my son and his girlfriend came in from dog walking, I asked them if they have eaten their dinner already and they said no. So, I was happy to let them eat my food. I still have leftover for tomorrows dinner.
Have you tried Chicken Marengo?
Thanks for reading. Sorry, I have no photo of the chicken stew but of the lasagna I have made last Sunday. I will change the photo tomorrow.
UPDATE: the photo is now Chicken Marengo
