What should I do with my chicken?

[eyesroll]

I have a cut-up chicken that I need to cook TODAY.

Suggestions?

1. Chicken tagine?

Slow cooked with chick peas and aromatic herbs. Very nice on a cold winter day.

Here is a nice sounding recipe with winter squash. http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/wh_chickentangine.html

I usually use a simple recipe form the Joy of Cooking. Easy, but nice enough for guests, too.

2. I'm going to do some chicken today too

I'm just sticking it in the crock pot with some Yoshidas gourmet sauce though.

3. I love my crock pot.

Don't know how I managed without it for so long.

4. I have no idea why mine collected dust for so long

I guess things just go out of style and even the most independent of us tend to follow along.

I know my ugly avocado green, 1975 crock pot is the only thing beans will get done in other than a pressure cooker. I am not a meat eater, save a couple of pieces a year to remind myself why, but the crock pot is also the only way a piece of rubbery range fed organic beef will get done, too.

I just hope fondue doesn't make a similar return. I finally got rid of that thing.

7. There was a restaurant called The Fire Pot

in Knoxville, TN back in the 70s. At least I think that was the name of it. They had the same sort of set-up. Everything old is new again!

It's actually really good but you need to have really good quality meat IMO. Everyone dips meat and veggies into a pot of boiling broth to cook. There are usually a number kinds of condiments and sauces for dipping cooked food into. The meal ends with the drinking of the broth.

I've had it a number of times.....and as long as you have high quality ingredients it's very simple and very good.

8. default chicken

Put chicken into a baking dish with quartered potatoes. Melt butter and stir in dried tarragon. Pour over chicken. Salt sprinkle. Bake until browned and cooked through.

It's just good, plain food.

there's always

12. UPDATE: I will be making it tonight, and it will be citrus.

I have some grapefruit, clementine and orange juice left over from a citrus-fruit salad from brunch this weekend, and I'm in a big waste-not, want-not mode. I got some shallots, and I'll add some olive oil, rice vinegar and S&P. Roast over cut-up winter squash at 425 for 20 minutes, then lower to 350 and cook to temperature.

To be served with couscous.

We shall see.

13. If chicken must be cooked today, make chicken-a-la-king.

Just throw chicken in a pot, boil til done, remove and debone
all the meat, add a can of cream soup-any kind- throw in some
piementos, 2 or 3 hard boiled eggs, chopped, and serve over toast.
The seasonings can be poultry season-salt-garlic-pepper-etc.
