Kat's Quarters
2 x Chicken quarters
1 tbs Butter
1 tbs Bacon drippings
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Ground black pepper
6 oz Saute'd button mushrooms
1 sm Eggplant peeled and cut into fingers
1 med Tomato, chopped into 8 pcs.
1/2 x Sweet green pepper, sliced
4 sm Onions, peeled
1 x Garlic clove crushed but NOT peeled
1/2 tsp Dry basil
1/2 tsp Dry thyme
1/3 cup Dry white wine
Method :
Brown the chicken well in the butter and bacon drippings. Season with salt and
pepper, and place in a deep casserole which has a cover. In the fat in which the
chicken was browned, stir together the mushrooms, eggplant, tomato, green
pepper, onions, garlic, basil and thyme for 2 to 3 minutes until the vegetables
just begin to soften. Add to the chicken in the casserole. Pour the wine into
the skillet, scrape loose any brown bits from the bottom and pour with the wine
over the chicken. Cover the casserole and bake in a moderate oven (350 F.) for
about 45 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
Don't even consider using a crockpot; this is enormously superior.
NOTE: The small amount of wine
is all the liquid needed. Plenty of
water is released from the vegetables, so there is no danger of
the food going dry and burning.
