Chicken in a Pot: The Garlic and Lemon Version
Tuesday nights are usually reserved for puzzle night with my sister. However this night she had of all things, a Christmas party to go to and my better half was out on a night ride. So what does one do when left alone? Cook something to post about of course!
I have said this before and I'm going to say it again; I love one pot dishes! Though technically this was a two pot/pan recipe being you have to brown your veggies and chicken first.
The ingredient list calls for 16 small white onions which my grocery did have but I thought the pearl yellow onions looked too cute to pass up. I should have gone with the slightly larger white onion for it was quite a tedious job peeling all those teeny, tiny pearl onions. One item my local market did not carry was preserved lemons, so I was going substitute a bit of lemon zest, which I forgot - not a problem though; this is one recipe you certainly can play around with the ingredients to your liking.

ohhh the aroma! mmmm...
Looks like a pig!
I think my dough was a tad bit too wet.
Well... it certainly isn't as beautiful as the cover
recipe photo - good thing this not to be eaten!
Again - the aroma!
The crust forms a wonderful seal to produce
a fall-off-the-bone delight.
Bummer I forgot to buy french bread to
soak up the yummy juices!
Andy picking the bones clean
just like at Thanksgiving.
Thanks hon!
Now... hopefully after an overnight soak I
will be able to get that crust off my pot.
