Stephssavorystewedchicken Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in large pot, saute onions for 2 minutes.
• Add next 7 ingredients.
• Bring to a boil.
• Add potatoes, carrots, and chicken.
• Simmer until vegetables are done, about 30 minutes.
• Thicken with cornstarch if you like a thicker stew.

Steps:

• Wash chicken parts. In a large bowl, combine lemon juice, scallions, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, ketchup, vinegar, sesame oil, cumin, curry powder, herb blend, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add chicken to marinade, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• In a medium Dutch oven, combine 1/3 olive oil and the sugar. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and brush off the vegetables from the chicken pieces, reserving the vegetables. Turn the heat to medium and stir the sugar and allow it to caramelize as the pot gets hot. (It may smoke some so watch for your smoke detector.)
• Carefully but quickly add the chicken to the pot and let the chicken brown in the caramelized sugar, turning the pieces as you go. Once all the chicken has browned, add the vegetables and marinade juices, cover, reduce heat to medium-low and let stew until the chicken is cooked through and tender, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Half way through, season with salt and pepper.
• Serve over rice or with mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• For the chicken: Season chicken with salt, pepper, thyme and garlic. Heat two tablespoons of oil in large frying pan over moderately high heat. Brown chicken, turning pieces once, about 4 minutes per side. Add a few teaspoons of water to skillet. Repeat a few times and then add watered flour to make a gravy. As chicken browns, add onions, cover pan and simmer on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes so chicken will stew. (Typically back home in Belize onion was the only vegetable used with the chicken, however many Belizians that are now in the Unites States add bell pepper and tomatoes to this dish.)
• For the rice and beans: Clean beans and check for stones. Put beans in a stockpot with water to cover, thyme, onions, garlic and pepper. Do not add salt at this time because the beans will turn hard. Cover and cook over moderate heat for 1 hour, stirring every 10 minutes and adding a little water if necessary. Cook until beans have softened. Add salt, coconut milk and uncooked rice. Cover and barely simmer over low heat (milk may easily burn) for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• Cook pork in a wide 6- to 7-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring, until golden and fat is rendered, about 8 minutes. Transfer pork with a slotted spoon to paper towels and pour off all but about 2 tablespoons fat from pot.
• Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Brown chicken in fat in pot over moderately high heat in 2 batches, skin sides down first and turning over once, about 6 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to 2 plates, breast pieces on one and the rest on the other.
• Add butter to fat in pot, then cook onions, carrots, and savory over moderately low heat, stirring, until vegetables are softened. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add water in a stream, whisking, then add remaining teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil over high heat. Return chicken, except breast pieces, and salt pork to pot, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes.
• Peel potatoes and cut into 3/4-inch cubes. Add potatoes and breast pieces to pot, then simmer, partially covered, until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Remove skin and trim fat from chicken. If using leg quarters, cut chicken into serving-size pieces. (Each chicken leg should yield about four pieces.) If using thighs, you can leave them whole.
• Make the marinade: In a food processor or blender combine salt, clove, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, ketchup, garlic, allspice, ginger, onion, scallions, whole bay leaf, culantro or cilantro, whole thyme sprigs, vinegar and Scotch bonnet pepper. (You should have about 2 cups marinade.)
• In a large bowl, combine chicken and marinade, ensuring all chicken pieces are coated. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours. (For best results, marinate overnight.)
• Heat oven to 325 degrees, and keep the chicken close to the stove. In an oven-safe pot large enough to hold the chicken comfortably (such as a Dutch oven), add oil and 3 tablespoons sugar and heat over medium until the sugar starts foaming and eventually changing color; this is the beginnings of your caramel. Cook until caramel is a rich, very dark brown, but not burned. (The caramel may start smoking as it darkens.)
• Quickly add chicken pieces to the pot, moving them around until they are fully coated with caramel. Add any remaining marinade in the bowl to the pot. Dust chicken with flour to fully coat pieces. At this point there shouldn't be much liquid in the pot; it should have a thick, pasty consistency. If any liquid remains, sprinkle more flour over the chicken.
• Add enough water to cover 3/4 of the chicken. (The tops of the pieces should barely peek out of the water.) Stir to incorporate all ingredients. Cover pot, transfer to oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
• Check chicken for doneness. Once chicken is cooked, taste and add salt if necessary. Add remaining 1 tablespoon sugar to balance flavor.
• Let stew rest for about 30 minutes before serving, or make it ahead and store it in the fridge for the following day; stew chicken tastes even better the day after. Serve with rice (or other grain, such as quinoa) and beans.

Steps:

• Place thawed (a little frozen yet still works) chicken breasts in a single layer baking dish. Spread mushrooms over the chicken, trying to keep them on the chicken.
• Mix together sour cream, mayo, HV mix, and cream until blended. Place large dollops of the mixture on each breast, then spread it out so that it covers all meat and mushrooms.
• Sprinkle grated cheese on top until covered (the more cheese, the more "crusty" it gets). Bake at 375 until top is starting to get orange-brown and crusty - about 45-60 minutes.
• Using a metal spatula, serve onto a plate, trying to keep the yummy stuff on top of each breast intact. The chicken will be very juicy and the stuff on top is very yummy, hence our name for it!
• Things not to do:.
• I once tried to make this into a casserole by dicing up the chicken first. I ended up with tough little pieces of chicken that were not very juicy. The shredded (fancy) parmesan cheese, instead of the grated, turns to little, hard shards when browned that stab you as you try to eat it, or if not as browned, are still too "crunchy".

Steps:

• In a large shallow dish, combine the flour, salt and pepper; add chicken, a few pieces at a time, and turn to coat. In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil; remove and keep warm. Gradually add broth to the skillet; bring to a boil., In a 5-qt. slow cooker, layer the carrots, celery and onion; sprinkle with rosemary. Add the chicken and hot broth. Cover and cook on low until chicken and vegetables are tender and stew is bubbling, 6-8 hours. , Remove chicken; when cool enough to handle, remove meat from the bones and discard bones. Cut meat into bite-size pieces and return to the slow cooker. Stir in peas. , For dumplings, in a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and rosemary. Combine the egg and milk; stir into dry ingredients. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto simmering chicken mixture. Cover and cook on high (do not lift the cover while simmering) for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean.
