It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 cups tomato sauce
1 cup red and green bell peppers, sliced
1/2 cup black olives, pitted and chopped
1/2 cup water
1 pound prepared polenta
In a large deep skillet over high heat, warm olive oil. Add the chicken thighs and saute for 5 minutes; turn and saute 5 more minutes until very brown.
Stir into same skillet the tomato sauce, the peppers, olives and water. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 15 to 18 minutes, until fork can be inserted in chicken with ease.
While the chicken is cooking, slice the polenta into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Warm a large, non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the polenta slices on the skillet or griddle; cook 7 minutes on each side.
To serve, place the polenta slices on serving dish. Top with chicken; spoon sauce on top.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Such a simple recipe, yet it made for a lovely dinner. You'll notice there aren't any seasonings called for in the recipe - I added salt but that was it. You could add some Italian-type herbs if you wish but surprisingly the dish had lots of flavor. I used a good quality tomato sauce which I think made a difference.
