Best Joleans Crock Pot Spanish Chicken Recipes

JOLEAN'S CROCK POT SPANISH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Wash chicken breasts, drain, and season on both sides with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder.
• Place seasoned chicken breasts in crock pot.
• Mix tomato paste and beer together and pour evenly over chicken breasts.
• Add olives with liquid.
• Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours.
• Serve each chicken breast over a small mound of prepared noodles, and dish sauce (with olives) over each serving. YUM!
• NOTE: You can also substitute 3/4 cup (6 oz.) chicken stock instead of beer. Makes it a bit more savory and seems to be more tasty for kids that way -- .

SLOW COOKED CHICKEN WITH TOMATILLOS, POTATOES, JALAPENOS AND FRE

Steps:

• Spread the onion over the bottom of a slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt. Continue with layers of the potato slices, chicken thighs, epazote or cilantro and then Tomatillos. Sprinkling salt evenly over each layer before moving on to the next. Scatter the jalapeno slices over everything, then drizzle on the pickling juice. Cover and slow cook on high for 6 hours.
• Carefully transfer a portion of the pollo Pulquero onto each dinner plate. If there is a large amount of juice in the cooker, tip or ladle it into a saucepan, set it over high heat and boil quickly to reduce to a rich consistency. Taste and season with more salt, if needed, then drizzle over each serving. Sprinkle each portion with chopped cilantro.
• Variations:.
• Pork shoulder and beef chuck, cut into 1 inch cubes are excellent substitutes for the chicken thighs. If available, use banana leaves and line the slow cooker or Dutch oven before assembling all the parts.
• Oven Version:.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Layer the dish as described above in a medium large (4 to 6 quarts, 10 to 12 inch diameter) heavy pot, preferably a Dutch oven. Set the lid in place and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the lid and bake 15 to 20 minutes longer to reduce the juices. Spoon directly from the pot onto plates.
