Stewed Chicken In Tomato Gravy Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Remove skin from chicken and season with salt and pepper.
• 2. In a large dutch oven pot, brown chicken in cooking oil until light brown. Drain off most of the excess fat.
• 3. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer on low for 1 to 2 hours adding water as needed to keep from sticking. It should be a medium consistency. Cook until chicken is done and falling off the bone about 1 hour.
• 4. Serve hot over steamed rice. Enjoy!

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:

• Cut chicken breast halves in half again.
• Mix flour, salt and pepper together in a plastic bag.

• In an electric frying pan or dutch oven, cook chicken in butter. Brown on both sides, adding more butter if needed.
• Add stewed tomatoes, oregano and basil.
• Lower heat, cover and cook for about 1 hour.
