Garlic Chicken a la Mexicana

 

 4-6 Chicken Thighs

1 Tbsp. Garli Garni seasoning

2 Tbsp. Olive Oil

½ cup Onion chopped

½ cup Green Pepper chopped

3-5 Cloves Fresh Garlic thinly sliced

1 Jalapeno Pepper thinly sliced (optional)

1 tsp. dried Oregano

1 cup Carrots thinly sliced

2 medium Potatoes, peeled and chopped (bite sized)

1 (14.5oz) can diced Tomatoes

1 (8 oz) can Tomato Sauce

½ cup White Wine (optional)

½ cup Chicken Broth

 

Rub chicken thighs with Garli Garni seasoning. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Sauté chicken thighs on each side until brown (approximately 4 minutes per side). Add all remaining ingredients in order. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to create a slow simmer. Partially cover and cook for 30 minutes or until meat and veggies are tender. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro (optional).

 

Serves 4-6

 

Serve with a fresh tossed green salad dressed with our Grill & Marinade or your favorite dressing.

Easy Mustard Dip

This savory dip couldn't be easier or more tasty. A great last addition to your Super Bowl snack line up.  Simply mix equal parts Garlic Festival Sweet & Spicy Mustard and sour cream with a splash of brandy cognac. Warm in microwave until warm and the flavors meld. Top off with a grind of fresh pepper before serving. Great as a dip for sausages, ham or even vegetables. Also fabulous on steaks!
YUM!!

GO NINERS!!!
