Dutch Oven Recipe
Hot & Zesty Chicken
10 Chicken Breasts or Thighs (bone in)
3/4 cup Brown Sugar
Sesame Seeds
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Ground Ginger
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper (add more if you like it hotter)
1/8 tsp Ground Nutmeg
1/8 tsp Cloves
2 tbsp Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Cider Vinegar or Red Wine Vinegar
1 tbsp Sherry
3/4 cup water
2 tbsp Cornstarch
Bake chicken in 12” Dutch oven for 45-50 minutes turning once until done and browned.
While chicken is cooking mix together remaining ingredients except cornstarch. Bring to a boil. Mix enough water with cornstarch to make slurry then pour into boiling mixture. Stir until thickened. Spoon the sauce over chicken during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Sprinkler the Sesame Seeds over chicken right before serving.
When ever I get in a rut and don’t know what to eat, I always go for something spicy like this dish to put me back on track.

Scalloped Potatoes
4 – 6 Russet Potatoes
1 small Onion
1/2 cup Milk
Butter
Paprika
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
Vegetable Oil Spray
Slice potatoes very thin, about 1/8 thick. Leave one or two potatoes to slice later if needed. To speed up the cutting process use a mandolin slicer. Finely dice onion and set aside. Spray bottom of 8” Dutch oven lightly with vegetable oil. Place a single layer of sliced potatoes in bottom of Dutch oven. Sprinkle with some onions, three or four dots of butter, salt and pepper. Continue layering up and stop about 1” from top. Dust with paprika for added color. Pour milk slowly down side of oven. If you pour milk straight over the top all the spices will be in the bottom. Bake for about 50 minutes to an hour.
This dish is a nice change to baked potatoes. Try adding shredded cheese for Au Gratin Potatoes. Anything that could be put on a baked potato or on potato skins can go in.
