Experiments with Chicken and Celery and Stuff Layered Around Them

[kiya]

Components:

Two chicken breasts
A leek
Some scallions
Three-four stalks of celery
Some several cloves of garlic
Can of chicken stock
Dumpling dough (I am a lazy bastard and used fresh pizza dough cut into chunks)
Pepper
Butter

Chopped leek and celery and garlic, put in butter in pan to cook down. Dropped in the chicken breasts (still frozen, too lazy to defrost, also cooking in broth) added a fair bit of pepper. Poured in chicken stock, cooked a bit, covered. Dropped in enough lumps of dough to fill the pan around the chicken, poured the chopped scallions over the top, covered, cooked until done.



Components:

Two chicken breasts
Three-four stalks of celery
Some several cloves of garlic
About a third of a red onion
Two potatoes (one huge but full of unusable bits, one small-medium), sliced
Irish cheddar
Butter
Pepper
Walnut Oil
White Wine

Melt butter in pan. Add finely chopped red onion, garlic, and celery, cook down, add white wine to help the simmer. Clear space for the chicken, add some walnut oil, put in chicken, sprinkle with pepper. Layer the potatoes in the space around the chicken, putting pieces of cheese on the potato between each layer. Add a little cheese crumble to the top. Cover to cook over medium heat. When the chicken is done, extract it and mix the potatoes with the gummed-up-with-cheese celery-and-onion layer.
