Ingredients

Large Soup Pot & A Deep Dish Skillet

3 Bone-In, Skin On Chicken Breasts

7-8 Carrots (Washed & sliced to about 3/4" thick)

2 Medium to Large Onions (Peel skin off & large Dice)

1 Head of Garlic (Clean off outer covering & thick slice the larger cloves)

4 Small Potatoes (Washed & cut horizontally in 1/2, then same way into 1/4's, then large dice)

8 Ounces Fresh green Beans (Washed & sliced into bite sized pieces)

3/4 Cup Whole Flax Seeds

2 Bay Leaves

3 Tablespoons Thyme

1 1/2 Tablespoons Sage

2 teaspoons Sea Salt

1 1/2 teaspoons Coarse Ground Black Pepper

About 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Directions

You do not have to do this step. I do this because I want my Chicken to be free of the effluence it gains during the butchering process.

I put my rinsed Chicken in a Large Pot, Cover with Water & Parboil for 5 minutes on High.

Put Chicken into a Bowl, Dump dirty water & wash out cooking pot. (I use soap)

Place Parboiled Chicken back into clean pot & pour Water to 2/3rds up the side of pot.

Turn Heat onto Medium.

Add:

The Bay Leaves, some Salt & the large Diced Potatoes, stir & cover loosely.

Pour Olive Oil into the Deep Skillet & allow it to get hot over Medium High Heat

Put the large Diced Onions, more Salt, all Pepper, some Thyme & some Sage in & stir.

This will cook quickly, so keep your eye on it & stir often. Cook for about 3 minutes.

Put in the sliced large & whole small Garlic Cloves & stir. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Put in the rest of the Thyme, Sage & Salt.

Then put the Carrots in for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring.

Add the bite sized String or Green Beans & stir for about 1 more minute. Take off Heat.

Slowly add the sauted Ingredients to the Chicken & Water ect Pot.

Get everything from the saute pan into the Chicken Pot.

Add the 3/4 Cup Flax seeds to the Chicken Pot & stir.

Reduce Heat to Medium/Medium Low, stirring occasionally.

I cooked mine for a little over an hour or until the chicken falls off the bone

Serve with a loaf of Muligrain Bread, Cheese & Butter & a Salad.

Enjoy this with people you care for.

NOTE: FLAXSEEDS ARE THE VEGETARIAN'S OMEGA 3 fatty acids. I added the Flax Seeds because Flax Seeds help; Arthritis, Digestive Problems, Joint Pain, Skin Conditions, Nosebleeds & ease the formation of Cysts in Breasts as well as decreasing the inflammatory process, thereby helping the Liver cleanse our Systems more easily.

I have read when you eat whole flax seed, you gain no benefit because they need to be ground or
crushed somehow. I use a coffee grinder.
I am trying the recipe on Saturday when the kids come over, but I will grind about 1/4 cup because these things grow when ground. The other thing I read is that the sooner you eat them when ground the more nutrients gained. It seems they do not stay around for a very long time. Try looking up flax seed and see what you think. I am curious if I read a bogus blog or what.
Thanks.

I'm looking forward to trying your recipe. i add ground flax seed to many foods. i use it in bread machine recipes, on oatmeal,yogurt,ice cream, cookies, cakes, etc. it adds a delightful nutty taste.

flax seeds need to be stored in the frig/frzr or they will become rancid, esp. after they are ground. this is due to their omega 3 fatty acid content.

My husband and I within the last three weeks have gone "organic." It's nice to find some recipes that are healthy AND delicious. We still give our selves one day a week to eat "badly." ^5
