Smothered Chicken
Found this and had to share it. It's a great dish, and a good way to use up some leftover chicken.
The first time I made it, I had baked two chickens in my smoker (yes, baked in a smoker... slow cooked them without actually applying any woodsmoke, but they picked up some residual flavor), and the little added smoke was perfect.
This recipe actually came from Liz Cavalier, aka Lizbeth on "Swamp People"
Gator Queen Liz’s Smothered Chicken
(Liz Cavalier, from Swamp People)
• 2 cups rice
• 1 whole fryer chicken
• 3 small diced onions
• 1 Small bell pepper
• 1 tbsp Tony Cachere’s creole seasoning
• 2 tbsp mustard
• 2 tbsp Cajun Power Garlic Sauce
• 1 Tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 6 tbsp Butter
DIRECTIONS
First cut up chicken and mix with Tony's, mustard, garlic sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in a large bowl.
Then place onions and bell peppers in pot with country crock butter and cook down until onions and bell peppers are browned.
Next, add entire bowl of chicken and mix to pot and brown chicken with onions for 5 to 15 minutes or until chicken is browned.
Finally, add water to pot until chicken is covered, and let cook until water is brown down into a gravy.
Cook rice as normal and serve chicken over rice.
My version went something like this:
1 whole cooked chicken, pulled apart into bite sized pieces
1 large onion, diced
1 large bell pepper, diced
1 tbsp Tony Cachere's seasoning
2 large cloves garlic, minced
8 tbsp butter (half stick)
8 tbsp flour
16 oz chicken stock
2 cups rice (uncooked)
In pot or large dutch oven, saute onion and pepper until just soft. Remove and set aside. Add butter to pan and melt. Add flour and combine to make a very light roux.
Add garlic and mix.
Add chicken stock and mix thoroughly to get rid of any roux clumps. Get this smooth and creamy, since this is your sauce.
Add chicken and simmer while rice is cooking.
Serve over the rice and enjoy.
PS: This is another one of those under $10.00 dishes that will feed several
