Slow Braised Chicken With Sweet Potatoes and Fennel

Slow Braised Chicken With Sweet Potatoes and Fennel

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
1 whole, free-range, organic chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 teaspoon garlic
1/4 cup shallots
1 cup sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup fennel bulb, peeled, cored and sliced
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon thyme
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:
Heat the butter in a large saucepan. Place the chicken in the butter to brown it.
Add the garlic and shallots and cook until tender.
Add the sweet potatoes and fennel and cook an additional 5 minutes in the
butter.
Turn the heat to medium-low and add 1 cup white wine or chicken broth and
the seasonings. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 40 minutes to 1 hour. Take
the lid off and simmer an additional 10 minutes to reduce the liquid. Season with
freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately.
Paleo Chicken Fajitas
Serves 5
A classic Tex-Mex cuisine loved by kids as well as adults, fajitas are easy to
make in large batches and are a quick throw-together dinner. In this recipe, steak
can be served over a corn or flour tortilla, but it is just as tempting without them.
