COMFORT FOOD RECIPES FOR WINTER


ARCHIVED RECIPES

*** Prior to the various Holidays we will add a new recipe daily. So, stop by often. ***

So, how about some easy WINTER refreshing recipes for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Desserts. Enjoy.


recipe Dinner Recipe: Chicken Bog
Servings: 6
allrecipes ~ Step by Step

"Chicken bog is a cross between a casserole and a stew. It's chock-full of chicken, sausage, rice, and onions, and it's great comfort food when it's cold outside," says MARBALET. "This recipe is what's called 'Lowcountry cooking,' a term used in the coastal regions of South Carolina, where chicken bog is often served in restaurants."
Recipe by: MARBALET

    Ingredients:

  • 6 cups water
  • 1 (3 pound) whole chicken
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • ½ pound smoked sausage of your choice, sliced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 tablespoons Italian-style seasoning or to taste
  • 2 cubes chicken bouillon

  • Preparation Instructions:

  • Gather all ingredients.Bring water, chicken, onion, and salt to a boil in a large pot over medium heat. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Transfer chicken to a cutting board to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Skim and discard fat from cooking liquid. Measure 3 ½ cups of cooking liquid and pour into a 6-quart saucepan. Discard remaining cooking liquid.
  • Remove and discard chicken skin and bones. Chop meat into bite-sized pieces.
  • Add chicken to the cooking liquid in the saucepan. Add sausage, rice, Italian seasoning, and bouillon. Set over medium-low heat and cook for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook, stirring often, until thickened to desired consistency, 10 to 20 more minutes.
