Cooking spray
\n8 chicken thighs, skinned (about 2 lb.)
\n3\/4 tsp. salt, divided
\n1\/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, divided
\n4 leeks, cut diagonally into 2-inch pieces (about 2 1\/4 lb.)
\n1 tsp. ground coriander
\n1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
\n2 C. Riesling or other slightly sweet white wine
\n1 tsp. sugar
\n2 bay leaves
\n2 fresh oregano sprigs
\n2 garlic cloves, peeled
\n1 (1 x 5-inch) orange rind strip
\n3 C. diced seeded peeled tomato
\n1 T. chopped fresh oregano
\n1 T. chopped fresh parsley<\/p>\n
Cut diagonally into 2-inch pieces, the leeks soften and develop a delicate flavor but remain intact for a nice presentation. The Greek flavors in this dish call for a salad of crisp lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and feta topped with a lemon-mint dressing. Rice or oven-baked potatoes would complete the meal. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with 1\/2 tsp. salt and 1\/4 tsp. pepper. Add the chicken to pan; saut\u00e9 4 minutes on each side. Remove from pan. Add leeks to pan; saut\u00e9 4 minutes or until browned, turning once. Remove from pan. Add coriander and cinnamon; cook 30 seconds. Add wine and next 5 ingredients (wine through rind), and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 3 minutes. Add leeks. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Add chicken. Cover and cook 8 minutes. Add tomato; bring to a boil. Uncover and cook 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove cinnamon, bay leaves, and rind. Stir in 1\/4 tsp. salt, 1\/4 tsp. pepper, and chopped oregano. Sprinkle each serving with parsley.<\/p>\n
