affrecaLast weekend's Goat Cheese, Mushroom and Eggplant Pastry was very tasty, but the pork was edible. But the cooking urge was still strong last night, so decided to try a new recipe to cook while I was at work today. I found a recipe for sweet potatoes and chicken.. and altered it. As you do. Blogging now, because it was nommy enough that I will make again.
Orange Chicken (No actual oranges were used in this recipe).
5 small sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 carrots, sliced into 2 inch lengths
1 onion worth of dehydrated onions*
Place in bottom of crock.
2 leg quarters, split into leg and thigh**
1 tsp salt
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp ginger
1/8 cayenne pepper
Mix spices and coat chicken with them. Place chicken into crock over vegetables.
3 small peaches, cut up
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp chicken stock
Place peaches over chicken, smooshing down so juice is released. Pour other liquids over mess. Cook on low for 10 hours (8 probably would have worked).
*You might be a cheapskate if you use an inherited dehydrated onions just because you have a jug of them
**Chicken legs are my favorite part of the bird, thighs are Lawnchair's, so we tend to buy bags of frozen leg quarters. Not quite to Jack Sprat levels, but it a couple has to find their compromises.
