Chicken recipe

Here is a recipe that I adapted from Allrecipe

I am assuming that you know how to make a roux and if you do not then you need to look here.

You will need:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
3 cloves garlic, minced
veggies-I use onions, peppers, asparagus and a little bit of hot peppers. You can add whatever you like-maybe garbanzo beans or lentils would be nice (cooked of course)
chicken broth - we use the kind in a box that my mil gets from the big box store.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves-cubed into your prefered bite size.
table spoon or two of butter and some flour to make a roux
brown rice, cooked according to your directions

Combine the oil, oregano, allspice, cumin, cloves, and garlic in a large bowl. Add chicken breasts and cover with the olive oil mixture. You can leave it for an hour or over night
Saute chicken and combine with veggies when chicken is cooked.

add chicken broth and simmer to blend flavors-be careful not to over cook or it will get mushy. adjust spices...this is up to your taste. I do not use salt but I love red pepper!

make a roux using butter and flour and when butter is melted and blended with the flour add some of the juice from the chicken mixture, a little at a time, then return to chicken and veggie mixture, and the juice will thicken to a nice consistency for serving over rice.
enjoy.

This recipe looks delicious and just the thing we need around here after getting another 7-inches of snow this week.

Have a great week!

Also, I love that "salsa" quilt in your sidebar. That's stunning!
