Diane's Hunter's Chicken

Poultry Recipes

Yield: Makes about 8 servings.

The secret ingredient is the cloves!

• 4 pounds chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch-size pieces
• 1/3 cup virgin olive oil
• 2 onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3 whole cloves

Place the chicken pieces, in batches, into a plastic bag with a couple of tablespoons of sifted flour. Shake to cover the pieces with flour. Pour virgin olive oil into a frying pan and sauté the chicken until golden brown. In a separate frying pan, fry onions in butter with garlic, and cloves. When the chicken and the onions are ready, add the contents of both frying pans to a slow cooker. Then add the following:

• 1/3 cup tomato paste
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 3/4 cup chicken stock
• 3/4 cup dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons brandy or 1/3 cup Muscatel
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/8 teaspoon thyme
• 1/8 teaspoon sweet marjoram

Simmer in the slow cooker for 3 to 4 hours and serve over pasta or rice.
