The dangerous seasonal flu forced me to rethink & fortify my nutritional needs & foods. Originally, I started this as the base for Chicken Pot Pie. I'll still make Pot Pie from my Soup, but I wanted to first, share a new top Secret Ingredient I added to the Clucking Soup. Ingredients:
large soup pot & a deep dish skillet |
3 bone-in, skin on chicken breasts |
7-8 carrots (washed & sliced to about 3/4 thick) |
2 medium to large onions (peel skin off & large dice) |
1 head of garlic (clean off outer covering & thick slice the larger cloves) |
4 small potatoes (washed & cut horizontally in 1/2, then same way into 1/4's, then large dice) |
8 ounces fresh green beans (washed & sliced into bite sized pieces) |
3/4 cup whole flax seeds |
2 bay leaves |
3 tablespoons thyme |
1 1/2 tablespoons sage |
2 teaspoons sea salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse ground black pepper |
about 4 tablespoons olive oil |
Directions:
1. You do not have to do this step. I do this because I want my Chicken to be free of the effluence it gains during the butchering process.
2. I put my rinsed Chicken in a Large Pot, Cover with Water & Parboil for 5 minutes on High.
3. Put Chicken into a Bowl, Dump dirty water & wash out cooking pot. (I use soap)
4. Place Parboiled Chicken back into clean pot & pour Water to 2/3rds up the side of pot.
5. Turn Heat onto Medium.
6. Add:
7. The Bay Leaves, some Salt & the large Diced Potatoes, stir & cover loosely.
8. Pour Olive Oil into the Deep Skillet & allow it to get hot over Medium High Heat
9. Put the large Diced Onions, more Salt, all Pepper, some Thyme & some Sage in & stir.
10. This will cook quickly, so keep your eye on it & stir often. Cook for about 3 minutes.
11. Put in the sliced large & whole small Garlic Cloves & stir. Cook for another 2 minutes.
12. Put in the rest of the Thyme, Sage & Salt.
13. Then put the Carrots in for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring.
14. Add the bite sized String or Green Beans & stir for about 1 more minute. Take off Heat.
15. Slowly add the sauted Ingredients to the Chicken & Water ect Pot.
16. Get everything from the saute pan into the Chicken Pot.
17. Add the 3/4 Cup Flax seeds to the Chicken Pot & stir.
18. Reduce Heat to Medium/Medium Low, stirring occasionally.
19. I cooked mine for a little over an hour or until the chicken falls off the bone
20. Serve with a loaf of Muligrain Bread, Cheese & Butter & a Salad.
21. Enjoy this with people you care for.
22. NOTE: FLAXSEEDS ARE THE VEGETARIAN'S OMEGA 3 fatty acids. I added the Flax Seeds because Flax Seeds help; Arthritis, Digestive Problems, Joint Pain, Skin Conditions, Nosebleeds & ease the formation of Cysts in Breasts as well as decreasing the inflammatory process, thereby helping the Liver cleanse our Systems more easily.
