Chicken Bacon Potato Stew Food

CHICKEN, BACON & POTATO STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan, or if your slow cooker has a browning function, then use this. Brown the chicken thighs for about 10 mins, until they have a nice golden colour, then remove and set aside. Tip in the bacon and shallots, and brown these, too.
• Tip everything apart from the buttermilk, lemon juice and 1 tbsp tarragon into your slow cooker. Simmer on High for 4-6 hrs, until the chicken is really tender and falling off the bone.
• Check the sauce; if you like it a little thicker, strain liquid into a pan and boil until thickened. Pour in the buttermilk, if using, and whisk until smooth. Sprinkle in the lemon juice and remaining tarragon, season, then return chicken, bacon and veg if you need to.

BAKED CHICKEN, POTATO, AND BACON CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• Arrange potatoes in an even layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then arrange on top of the potatoes. Drizzle the chicken dish with olive oil; sprinkle with thyme and rosemary. Crumble the bacon over the top of the dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the centers and potatoes are tender, about 1 hour.

ONE-POT CHICKEN & BACON STEW

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole with a lid. Fry the chicken pieces in batches for 5 mins on each side until well browned, then transfer to a plate. Sizzle the bacon in the casserole for a few mins until beginning to crisp. Stir in the carrots and onions, then cook for 5 mins until starting to soften. Stir in the flour and tomato purée and cook for 1 min more. Finally, splash in the vinegar and stir well.
• Pour in the stock and bring to a simmer. Add the bay, cream and seasoning. Slide in the chicken pieces and scatter over the potatoes, turning everything over a few times so that the potatoes are immersed in the sauce. Put the lid on and place in the oven. After 40 mins, remove from the oven and stir in the mushrooms. Cover again and cook in the oven for 10 mins more until the chicken is cooked through and tender but not completely falling off the bone. You can now turn off the heat, and chill and freeze some or all of it (see freezing tips, below). If eating straight away, cook for 10 mins more, then sprinkle over the herbs and serve.

CHEESY CHICKEN AND POTATO CASSEROLE WITH BACON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 13x9x2-inch baking dish with the cooking spray.
• Stir the soup, sour cream, 1 cup cheese, milk, garlic powder and black pepper in a medium bowl.
• Spread the potatoes in the baking dish. Season the potatoes with the salt and additional black pepper. Top with the chicken. Spread the soup mixture over the chicken. Cover the baking dish.
• Bake for 40 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the mixture is hot and bubbling. Uncover the baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
• Bake, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with the bacon and chives before serving.

POTATO BACON STEW

Steps:

• Start by heating the olive oil in a large saucepan.
• When hot, sauté the onions, garlic and green pepper in the pot for 2-3 minutes.
• Next add the bacon and mushrooms and sauté for another couple minutes.
• Add the potatoes to the mix and pour over the canned tomatoes.
• Also add one can of water and the wine.
• Make a couple cuts in the dried pepper, then submerge the pepper in the stew or mix in the crushed chillies.
• Stir in the paprika as well as some black pepper and a bit of salt, if desired.
• Make sure the stew is well mixed, then cover and leave to simmer over a low heat for around 20 minutes or until the potatoes are done.
• When the potatoes are done, dissolve the cornflour in a tiny bit of water then pour into the stew.
• Let the stew simmer for another couple minutes.
• Cover, turn off the heat and and leave for five minutes.
• Now you can either repeat the process, adding a bit more cornflour if you want it thicker, or serve if you are happy with the consistency of the sauce.
• Don't forget some nice crusty bread to mop up the juices with!
