directions

  • That's all!
  • Put the oil in the bottom of a larger saucepan (so it will hold the chicken in one layer), brown on all sides until it is golden all over. Pour off any excess oil.
  • Salt & pepper generously.
  • Pour in enough milk to cover the chicken pieces.
  • Simmer on low heat, uncovered until the chicken is cooked and fork tender, approx. 30 minutes.
  • The milk should have cooked down so it is like gravy.
  • Serve.

  1. Bergy, wonderful concept but it just didn't work out very well. I will try it again making some changes because it's has great potential. While the milk, amazingly cooked down to a cream gravy without curdling, I had to remove the chicken and simmer the milk an extra 15 minutes to reduce the sauce. The result was a bland chicken and bland gravy overpowered by a sweet flavor from the milk. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! *^-^*
     
  2. This is very good! I thought the chicken came out so moist and tender, although it took quite a bit longer than 30 minutes for me. After 30 minutes, I turned the heat up a bit more to help it along and it still took 15-20 minutes more. I took the recipe poster's suggestion to season heavily and chose to use seasoned salt and freshly cracked pepper. I thought the flavor was very good and I would make this again. My only problem, besides the timing, was getting the "gravy" to thicken up enough, despite using the whole milk as called for in the recipe. Next time, I will mix a little cornstarch or flour with some cold milk, then stir that in towards the end of the cooking time to help thicken the sauce. Note:I skinned half of the chicken pieces before browning and felt there was no sacrifice to taste.
     
  3. This was really good and very simple. I added a little chopped garlic and used butter instead of oil to brown the chicken. I also used season-all instead of salt and pepper. I only had two percent milk in the house so I had to add a little flour at the end to thicken the gravy. The chicken was very moist and tender - will definately make this again!
     
  4. Very good .. After reading the other reviews I decided to add chopped onion and minced galic, and 2 chicken bouillon cubes .. my husband loved it .. I did however use dried whole milk powder and the sauce curdled, I will use fresh milk next time .. thanks!
     
  5. I made this for dinner tonight. My son is allergic to dairy, so I fried the chicken in extra virgin coconut oil and used coconut milk instead of cow's milk. I also used crazy salt in place of regular salt. It was so tasty and delicious! This is a keeper!!

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
