Cooking With Krissy

Braised Chicken Thighs with root vegetables

Eight chicken thighs (without skins but with preferably with bones)
couple tablespoons of canola or olive oil
2 C chopped onions
2 C chopped turnips
2 C chopped rutabagas (aka yellow turnips)
1 C sliced parsnips (look like white carrots)
2 C chopped butternut squash.
1/2 cup chicken broth (1 C is okay too, as broth comes in those handy 1C boxes, just reduce it a little longer at the end)
Salt, pepper, thyme, sage to taste

(All veggies should be chopped into big chunks)
(All veggie measurements are approximate. It is MORE than okay to have a bit more of this, a little less of that)

In big skillet, brown chicken thighs for about 5 minutes. Remove from pan.
Put oil in pan.
Saute onions for 3 minutes.
Add rest of the vegetables. Saute another 3 minutes.
Add chicken back in, on top of the veggies
Add rest of the ingredients. Cover. Cook for 20 minutes.
Remove lid and cook for another 3 minutes or so until it thickens.

Done. Eat.

This could be a complete meal as-is. Excellent meal when partnered with bread and a green vegetable or salad.

Chopping the veggies takes some time but everything else is EASY EASY EASY. It's great for the fall and winter when root vegetables are cheap cheap cheap.

Ive never really been a big fan of parsnips or turnips but maybe its just the way theyve been cooked and in this recipe they taste better.

Thank goodness, I thought Krissy was an ingredient ! I was wondering what has the PM Phorum has come to, a place for cannibals to share recipes.

The entry that should have been:

Casserole Roasted Pork a la Julia Child with Potatoes and Onions ... Add veggies, rolls, wine ...

Was planned for this evening, with friends from church over so we can get to know each other and generally plot and plan our takeover. But alas, Our Lady of the Snows got in the way.

Drat.


Next month ...
