DRUNKEN CHICKEN – J.GUMBO’S STYLE

www.4you-withlove.com/2013/03/drunken-chicken-j-gumbos-inspired.html


Ingredients:
2.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3/4 cup oil (I used coconut but you can use any oil of your choice)
1/2 cup flour
2 15-oz cans of diced tomatoes
1 12-oz bottle of beer
2 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp thyme
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp white pepper
1-2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp file powder
1 tsp paprika
1 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp molasses
4-5 bay leaves.


Directions:
In a heavy pot, add oil and add your flour (if using coconut oil, melt the oil before you add the flour). Cook until your roux is the color of peanut butter.
When your roux is a nice brown, add all your ingredients except for your the chicken. Stir.
In a crock pot, place your chicken. Then pour your roux/tomato/spice blend over the chicken. Stir. Place the lid on your crock pot and cook on high for 1 hour. Turn down to low and cook for an additional 5 hours.
When your chicken is cooked, remove the bay leaves and take two forks and shred your chicken.
Now, just pour over rice, tortilla chips, or on a bun and enjoy!

Roasted vegetables

Prepare any vegetable (broccoli, brussel sprouts, and asparagus are my favs)
Liberally toss in olive oil and salt (liberal like Karl Marx, not like Bill Clinton, you're basically frying them in olive oil and it's delicious)
Place in roasting pan spread evenly
Cook at 425 for 15-30 minutes, depending on the vegetable.

Spicy Grits With Chicken

2poor's recipe

[Jerry West]

1. www.myrecipes.com/recipe/curried-couscous-with-broccoli-feta

Makes a lot and is better cold.

Would double the sugar and use cranberries instead of raisins.


2.


Doesn't reheat well, but is good when it is made.

3.

I recommend using the whole thing of Chipotle in Adobo. Makes enough for multiple meals and pairs well tortilla chips as pseudo nacho.
