How to make it
- 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 thes...morecorriee in kyle loved it -
