Robin Benzle's Grape Juice Chicken It's French, it's fabulous and it's four ingredients.

I love this recipe because it's easy enough to serve on a regular old Tuesday night and different enough to serve should Jacques Pepin stop by for dinner.

• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 chicken thighs
• 2 cups purple grape juice

In a medium bowl, mix together flour, thyme, salt and pepper. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large skillet. Dip chicken pieces in seasoned flour and brown on both sides in skillet. Pour grape juice over chicken, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Uncover and simmer another 20 minutes, or until juices are somewhat reduced. Serves 4.

Serving suggestion: Serve with rice (drizzled with the sauce) and some nice, steamed broccoli.

Note: The Mayo Clinic says purple Concord grape juice offers the same antioxidant benefits as red wine. It's also a great source of Vitamin C.
