Steps:

• Wash and dry the chicken pieces.
• Combine the flour salt, pepper, nutmeg and paprika in a shallow bowl. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour to coat evenly.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a large braiser or deep skillet over medium-high heat on the stove top. Place the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook until brown and crispy on all sides. Transfer the browned chicken to a plate and set aside.
• Add onions to the pan, and cook until slightly soften, about 5 minutes
• Add mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms start to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Take the pan off the flame and add wine to deglaze. Return to flame, and bring to a boil.
• Add chicken stock and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.
• Place chicken, skin side up, in a single layer in the pan. The liquid should not cover the chicken entirely. Add any juices that have accumulated on the plate to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover partially. Cook until internal temperature of thickest part of chicken registers 165 degrees, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a clean plate and set aside.
• Simmer liquid, uncovered, until reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Add cream, lemon juice, and parsley. Continue simmering and gently stirring until combined and hot. Return the chicken to the pot and gently cook over medium low heat another 3-5 minutes until the chicken is warmed and the sauce is thick.
• Serve immediately with homemade biscuits, rice or mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• Rub the chicken with the creole seasoning, salt and pepper on both sides.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add seasoned chicken and sear for 3-4 minutes per side. The chicken should not be cooked through at this point, as we'll continue to cook it later with the sauce.
• To the same heated skillet add the remaining oil. Sauté the onion, carrots, celery until soft, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic, mushrooms, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally until mushrooms are tender.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk well the almond milk and flour until smooth.
• Once the mushrooms are done, pour over the milk mixture and stir to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until it starts to thicken.
• Return the chicken to the pan together with the asparagus and continue to cook it into the sauce until fully cooked through and no longer pink on the inside, about 8-10 minutes more.
• Serve warm and enjoy!

Steps:

• Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Place the chicken breasts in a large pot with the broth, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, lemon zest, cumin, and oregano. Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate, then strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into another pot. Remove the chicken from the bones, discarding the skin and pulling the meat off into big, long chunks.
• Put the pot of broth over medium heat. Add the flour, whisking to avoid getting lumps. Bring the sauce to a simmer stirring constantly so it doesn't stick or burn, until it has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the asparagus from the jar, reserving the liquid, and cut the stalks into thirds. Whisk the asparagus water into the thickened broth. Add the cream and capers, stirring to combine. Add the chicken and asparagus to the sauce and stir to coat. Cook a couple of minutes to heat through and bring the flavors together. Transfer the chicken fricassee to a decorative platter or bowl and garnish with chopped scallions.

ABUELA'S CHICKEN

Steps:

• Marinate the chicken for approximately 10 minutes in a bowl containing the green peppers, oregano, garlic, black pepper, olives, celery, parsley, coriander, and thyme.
• In an iron pot, heat 3 tablespoons of oil, reserving 2 tablespoons for later use. Add sugar to heated oil and quickly stir. When sugar turns dark brown, add the chicken (without the vegetables), being careful with splattering oil. Stir, cover and let simmer at medium heat for 10 minutes, adding tablespoonfuls of water regularly to prevent it from burning. Add the vegetables. Add tomato paste and stir to combine. Add remaining water and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste.
• Add the rice and stir often to avoid excessive sticking. Once all the water has evaporated, cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer over very low heat. Wait 15 minutes, uncover and stir, before adding remaining oil. Cover and wait another 5 minutes. Taste rice for doneness; it should be firm but tender inside. If necessary, cover and leave another 5 minutes over very low heat.
