Recipe: Stormy Chicken Stew

[Guest guest]

Tonight, winter will finally visit Toronto for the first time this

season. A snow storm is on the way. I'm holed up with two DVD's of

Boston Legal and a hot comforting dinner. After years of seeing me gag

on dry chicken breasts, my daughter transitioned me to chicken

drumsticks, tender, tasty and very economical. Here's a one dish meal

with little cleanup. I use an earthenware casserole as I have no

experience with crock pots.

" Stormy " Chicken Stew

For each serving:

2 chicken drumsticks, skin on

1 medium fresh tomato, sliced

1 medium onion, peeled and sliced

1/2 - 1 cup cubed peeled butternut squash

2-3 oz. white grape juice or white wine

1-2 pats, butter

1 clove minced garlic

salt and pepper to taste

dried Rosemary, sage, thyme, oregano and basil to taste. Just sprinkle

it on

a few drops of honey

2 heaping tablespoons blanched almond flour

Preheat oven to 350 F. Arrange onion slices, garlic and tomato slices

in an ovenproof casserole dish. Add squash cubes and drumsticks,

sprinkle on seasonings and dot with butter. Add the wine/juice. Cover

and cook 1 hour and uncover and cook another 15 minutes. Remove

everything from gravy. Add almond flour and honey to the liquid,

stirring well. Allow it to stand so it thickens. Also let the chicken

and vegetables cool a little before adding what will now be a thick,

creamy sauce. If you add sauce when too hot it goes watery. It is not

necessary to place pot on heat when you do the sauce..
