Yesterday I roasted a chicken on the bbq. I was home alone so there was
still a fair amount left over for tonight's dinner. Since it was
roasted I have a nice rich base for gravy I'm tired from canning so it's
nothing fancy but here it is. I wouldn't mind ideas for another veggie.
I have lots of beans <rolling eyes> but we are almost beaned out.
Not Fancy Chicken
- debone chicken & cut into bite size pieces
- deglaze pan with chicken broth, add enough chicken broth to make about
2 c gravy
- add a splash or two of Worcestershire sauce
- add salt & pepper to taste
- bring gravy to light boil
- thicken with flour slurry
- stir in chicken pieces
I'm planning on serving this on a bed of mixed wild & brown rices.
Two problems - bread/buns/or biscuits and a second veggie preferrably
non-starchy and something just a little dressed up but not gourmet.
Not to waste anything the chicken carcass is happily cooking away for
chicken stock. Depending on the yield I may can it but will more than
likely freeze it.
Dessert
Here's what I'm thinking - plain yogurt topped with peach slices and a
sprinkling of fresh grated nutmeg
BTW, I have a love/hate thing with this time of year. I'm so tired from
daily canning sessions, I don't feel like cooking for dinner yet I get
great pleasure out of seeing my canning stash grow. I need quick easy
to prep meals.
