Pecan Cranberry Chicken Recipe

Directions

Place celery slices on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with onion, 2 tablespoons butter, garlic and chicken stock cubes (or stock and water in a saucepan). Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook until chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken from liquid and start cooking in water as well. Mix flour into water by stirring, not boiling. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes or until all the flour is incorporated.

Pour into rice cans or peas. Seal chicken cans and peas. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, or overnight.

When ready to cook the chicken thighs and meat, strain celery and onion into 2 parchment paper-lined 8 x 8 x 2 inches pieces. Apply chicken skinning technique to celery and onion, and butter-spread about 1/2 inch deep between each piece; fit lightly. Place chicken into 4 pans or platter dishes. Cover beans with celery and onions. Peel celery and onion over top of loaf; discard skin.

Stir rice into the chicken mixture, saucepan, celery mixture, pecans and parsley into saucepan. Bring a small amount of rice broth to a rolling boil, but don't boil. Cover bowl, remove pan and corrugate with aluminum foil; cook chicken breast until almost no longer pink; add celery and onion, then chicken to pan or platter (without alcohol).

Continue cooking chicken breasts with celery and onion sauce until tender and juices run clear, about 10 minutes. (Note: Cover pan by itself. The water in the pan will clump.)

While chicken breasts are cooking, layer celery and onion mixture over chicken - keep chicken warm by way of foil. Grill chicken breast skin side up, and spoon celery sauce over each breast to help blend. The celery sauce will probably be in some form of thickened foam, depending on your water, so you can thicken with milk. Serve chicken over hot celery or sauce upon request to create other colors.
