Chicken In Beer Sauce -- Pollo A La Cerveza
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3 - 3 1/2 lbs cut up chicken pieces
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 1 medium green pepper, chopped
- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 12 ounces lager beer
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- In a ziplock bag, mix the flour, 1 tsp of the salt and the pepper.
- Add the chicken pieces, seal the bag and shake up and down to coat the chicken.
- Heat oil in a large, fairly deep frying pan.
- Add chicken and cook on both sides until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
- Remove chicken from the pan.
- Lower the heat slightly and add the onion, garlic and pepper to the pan.
- Saute for a couple minutes, then add the carrots.
- Cook for another couple minutes, then add the tomatoes and remaining salt, if needed.
- Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the beer and potatoes.
- Top with the chicken and bring to a boil.
- Cover and let simmer over a low heat for 30 minutes.
- Remove the cover and cook for 5-10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- You can re-brown the chicken in a bit of oil in a second skillet, just before serving.
- I find it needs this"touch up" especially if it still has the skin on.
- Serve with your favourite green veggies.
