lucy's butter chicken.

My mam is an excellent cook. She makes breakfast, tea time, & supper daily for my family and never misses a day. She has a full time job and is a full time mom, I am so blessed to have someone like her in my life.

Lately, I've been asking her to make some of her famous chicken, well, to me at least. I call it Lucy's Butter Chicken. Now don't be alarmed with the title, you'd be surprised how little butter it requires for this wonderful dish. As some of you may know, I don't consume red meat, however I limit myself from chicken & pork. This is a favourite I always ask for.

• chicken (game hen, quarter legs, or young chicken)
• 1 1/2 Tbs butter
• half white, yellow, or purple onion
• garlic cloves
• oregano seasoning
• salt & pepper

This is a very VERY simple dish to make. Wash the chicken clean under hot water. Cut a few slices in the chicken seasoning it with oregano, salt & pepper.

Turn the pan on under medium heat and place the chicken upright with the sliced onions and garlic cloves. Add the butter, dabbing it on the chicken and allow it to simmer in its own juices for at least 1 hour.

^ Plate & serve! See, this was a very easy dish to create AND so full of flavour. It's incredibly tender, and the onions & garlic cloves are so soft to eat. Sorry for the poor photo, I started picking at it because it tastes so great before I took the photo. But I'm sure everybody will enjoy this as much as I do. Thanks mother!
