I saw this recipe on Bon Appetit, it is one of their BA’s Best.  Mushroom & Black Bean Vegetarian Burgers  There are a lot of ingredients in this recipe & I had most of them at home.

This is a wonderful recipe for a layered vegetable torte. This is the perfect time of year to make it with all of the fresh vegetables available at farmers markets, but it would be good anytime of year. You can grill the vegetables or roast them before putting this dish together so it is pretty flexible. Easily adapted to be vegan…just leave out the Parmesan topping.

Mom’s Yummy Chicken

Yes…that is the name of this recipe…from my moms recipe box…yummy chicken! So the question of course was..Is it yummy? I had to give it a try & it was! ! Simple ingredients which is always good. The original recipe called for chicken pieces & apple juice. I used bone-in chicken thighs & orange juice since I didn’t have any apple juice..the orange juice was leftover from the Glazed Orange Cake. I recommend you give this chicken a try.

Here is the recipe

Mom’s Yummy Chicken

1/4 cup flour

2 tsp salt *** seems like a lot of salt but it isn’t too salty!

1/4 tsp pepper

3-4 pounds chicken pieces ***I used 8 bone-in chicken thighs

4 green onions, chopped

2 Tbsp lemon juice *** I used fresh but my mom used the bottled lemon juice!

1 can of sliced mushrooms, drained

1 tsp sugar

1/3 cup orange juice *** original recipe calls for apple juice

oil

Method

  1. Mix the flour, salt & pepper together in a bowl big enough to coat the chicken pieces in
  2. Dip the chicken in the flour mixture , making sure all of the chicken is coated in the flour
  3. Heat some oil in a frying pan, and brown the chicken pieces on all sides
  4. Transfer the browned chicken to a baking dish
  5. Saute the green onions & sliced mushrooms. Add to the chicken
  6. Mix the sugar & orange juice together & pour over the chicken
  7. Bake at 325f until throughly cooked & brown  *** Baste often

Enjoy!
