Directions: |
Directions:Wash your chicken and pat down with a paper towel to get dry. Then season your chicken both sides with seasoning salt, garlic powder, black pepper and then cover with paprika. (The paprika will brown it nicely). Add seasoned chicken to heated up olive oil and braise on all sides for about 15 -20 minutes or until it looks lightly browned. When it is at about at the 10- minute mark, add your chopped celery and onions and brown with the chicken.
Boil a teapot full of water. Peel your Yucca with a potato peeler and cut into 1 1/2 inch chunks and cut down the middle. Peel and chop your carrots. Once chicken mix is brown add your Yucca and carrots and cover all ingredients with boiling water. Put enough boiling water to cover everything. The yucca will thicken the water to be just the right consistency for stew. Add your frozen lima beans, bouillon cubes and bay leave to the water plus a couple of sprinkles of red pepper flakes. Cover the pot and let cook over medium heat. Let it cook for about an hour and a half or until the yucca root get soft all the way thru.
When the dish is almost done take off the skin of the chicken…it gives it flavor but doesn’t look good so just throw that part out.
Make 2 cups of white rice to go with your stew when done.
Enjoy! |
