I haven't actually fried chicken in 30 years but Publix makes some really
good fried chicken I allow myself to indulge in it a few times a year.

Sold! I did a paella tonight- but fried chicken is just what those
butter biscuits that I just found are begging to be served with.

Ever cook chicken in beef gravy with red wine?

The recipe i have calls for skinless boneless chicken breast. Flour,
egg and bread crumb the chicken. Saute in hot oil just to set the outer
coating then transfer to a pot of beef gravy and add a cup of red wine.

Bring to a boil and then turn down to a simmer and let cook for 20 - 30
minutes.

When done remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and stir the gravy.

Slice the breasts or serve whole with the gravy.

It's gloomy, wet, and a bit chilly here. Lin made the perfect dish for the
weather: chicken & dumplings.

The original recipe was from a colonial Williamsburg cook book, where in
its called a fricassee. No onions, mushrooms or bacon.

Then there's the *** guy who spills red wine in his lap and his boy
friend says "never mind, i just love coq au vine."

It was my birthday but my oldest had dental work and wasn't feeling well
so we stayed in. We had tossed Greek salad, spanakopita, sauteed shrimp
with a copycat recipe of the benihana shrimp sauce, filet mignon cooked
med rare, sauteed mushrooms and zucchini. For dessert they got me a
cupcake with a candle. I'm getting a full cake on saturday at a
christmas get together.

The suggestion was for informational purposes only. Red wine and beef
gravy with chicken was not something i would have thought of on my own.

Its the combination of flavors i was praising.

We're finishing the shopping today, I hope. And will go for the raw
fish in
some form at our favorite Japanese Restaurant. I've been diagnosed
with
either Lupus or Rheumatoid Arthritis, still don't know which, and my
get
up and go, got up and went. Trying to do things the easiest way this
year. At least it's not as bad as it was this summer when I spent
almost
5 weeks in bed in big pain with swollen stiff joints. Glad THAT is
gone.
MMMMMmmmmm, sushi, sashimi, can't wait.

Since Life gets busy from now til after the holidaze, I want to wish
everyone
meaningful, family filled, joyful times. Be well, stay warm, Ehugs,

Ever cook chicken in beef gravy with red wine?

The recipe i have calls for skinless boneless chicken breast. Flour,
egg and bread crumb the chicken. Saute in hot oil just to set the outer
coating then transfer to a pot of beef gravy and add a cup of red wine.

Bring to a boil and then turn down to a simmer and let cook for 20 - 30
minutes.

When done remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and stir the gravy.

Slice the breasts or serve whole with the gravy.

Never tried it but it sure sounds like the makings of a great meal. Thanks for this one.

Tonight, I'm going with fresh pasta sauce (tomato, onion, garlic, OO, homemade hot Italian sausage, fresh basi)l tossed with the pasta and some wanna be Italian bread (yes, the machine kind). Gotta pick up some wine, though. Any suggestions?

Ho-hum. Not much time tonight.

Home made spicy chorizo vegetable soup. Made by a friend. We had
cabbage roll soup last night and my friend and I often trade home made
soups. She delivered hers this afternoon and picked up some of mine. I'll
make baking powder biscuits to go with it...or maybe garlic bread.....Sharon

Well, one different there is the CFS is boneless, therefore a
little easier to manage with gravy on it.

Fish and chicken is a favorite. Either whole or ground.

A combo of ground chicken & ground shrimp i got from a Korean cooking
show (saute or pouch in stock) and a saute of diced chicken and shrimp
with butter, garlic and white wine from one of Julia Childs later t.v.
shows iirc.

A Japanese cooking show i saw combined a dice of cooked potatoes with
beaten eggs and imo cooking the potatoes with the eggs produces a better
flavor then if serving them separately.

There's a lot i don't understand now, the universe is a big place and i
don't except to achieve omniscience any day soon.

However, conversation, is not a particularly difficult or obscure subject.

The idea is that you have to eat it quickly before the crunch goes away.

How do you feel about katsu, or udon with tempura? Those are both more
extreme versions of the same crunch-with-liquid idea.

Do what thou wilt and all that.....without a word for word
deconstruction of my original statements i don't see any contextual
resolution to what is ultimately individual perceptions.

De gustibus non est & all that

Best tasting composed chicken dish i have had is the chicken in beef
gravy with red wine.

Vietnamese lemon chicken runs a close second

I have had very fresh, boutique chickens that tasted so good on their
own as little as possible was done to them aside from cooking them.
Roasted, grilled or boiled. Chicken so good it don't need any
seasonings or coatings.

With ordinary big box food mart chicken i often as not make a composed
dish of them, rather than frying. Roast and then disassemble.

I am fond of Lydia's Kitchen Italian technique of browning thighs and
legs in oil and onions & etc. and then adding whole tomatoes & sauce &
simmer for an hour or so. But that's just another Fricassee. I do like
a nice chicken cordon bleu but wont make it for myself. However i have
been known to make a chicken stock just so i can make a chicken gravy to
serve with my beef, chicken fried steak

And no, i don't put white wine in the chicken gravy when i serve it with
the chicken fried steak.

Udon with tempura is (in my experience) served with the tempura pieces
already floating around in the broth.

I'm guessing in Japan it is served so quickly they have not yet
become waterlogged, like they typically are in the U.S.

LOL @ Tuna Helper, Wonder bread and boxed wine. Your salad was tossed
behind the dumpster at the 7-11, no doubt. *snicker*

I agree.

Different for me. I love crisp chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes
smothered in white gravy made in the CFS remnants. I grew up with this.

Isn't it a tradition to put white gravy on the CFS, but brown gravy
on the mashed potatoes?
