Slow Cooker Cream-of-Mushroom Chicken with Rosemary

As part of my journey toward smarter food budgeting and more frequent home-cooked meals, I've implemented a weekly meal prep schedule. Every Sunday, I make large portions of protein and vegetables that can be mixed and matched for additional meals throughout the week.

This week's Sunday meal prep - Cream-of-Mushroom Chicken with Rosemary.

Ingredients:

5-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (my go-to protein)

1 can cream of mushroom soup, 8oz. (I used the low-fat version)

Lemon juice

Seasonings: Rosemary, roasted garlic, onion powder, cracked black pepper, lemon pepper, parsley, dill

Optional: A pinch or two of salt, white cooking wine

Trim the chicken if needed and slice into bite-sized pieces. Coat the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray and load in the chicken. Add 1 can of cream of mushroom soup and about 2 tsp lemon juice. Stir together.

Add the seasonings, using the list above or your own preferences. Measure with your heart or to taste, but always use twice as much garlic as anything else and go light on the salt and cracked pepper. I used about 2 tbsp roasted garlic, 1 tbsp onion powder / lemon pepper / parsley, and 1/2 tbsp dill / cracked black pepper. I also picked a few sprigs of fresh rosemary and minced them for the pot. Dried rosemary works fine if you don't have any pet herbs in your house.

Stir everything together and add the wine or salt if you wish. Put the lid on your slow cooker, put it on LOW, and let it cook for about 90min. Check the chicken, give it a stir, and cut a large piece in half to see if it's done. If it's tender and done through and the juices run clear, turn off the pot. Be careful not to overcook the chicken or it will get tough. Serve right away with your favorite starch and seasonable vegetables.

This makes about 6 servings, or dinner for two with plenty of leftovers. I packed our leftover chicken (and the delicious self-made gravy) with some egg noodles and separate pods of roasted brussels sprouts. It goes equally well with rice or potatoes, if that's your preference.

Altogether, the whole dish took about 15min of prep time and about 90min to cook. Very easy and very quick, and it didn't take a lot of spoons...or dishes.

Give a try, hope you enjoy!

Stew peas is a dish for gathering, and a dish for celebrating, and a dish for living. But it’s also a dish for slowing down; stew peas call for a certain gentleness, and a certain trust, alongside an implicit agreement allowing time to meld your beans and your meat and your aromatics.

The meal’s origins are Jamaican; in “Caribbean Cooking,” John DeMers even refers to stew peas as the country’s national dish. Red peas, as kidney beans are known in Jamaica, are cooked down and mellowed with coconut milk, then stewed with beef, pork or even vegetarian alternatives. The meal is further flavored with garlic and herbs. While stew peas can be found in home kitchens throughout the Caribbean diaspora, Jamaican renditions almost always include spinners: flour dumplings that make the stew into a full-fledged meal. And this stew is as individual as the hands of the cook preparing it — there are few “wrong” ways to cook stew peas.

The recipe’s base ingredients couldn’t be humbler: dried kidney beans, a bowl of salted pig’s tail, garlic, scallions and a can of coconut milk. But the component binding everything together is time: Much of the work in stew peas resides in what you aren’t doing. You can check in on the simmering pot as spinners form between your palms, rolling and adding each dumpling while the stew reaches the precipice of its flavor. And you’ll know it’s done when the stew’s aroma envelops your kitchen (to say nothing of your neighbor’s, should they be so lucky). Then the only thing you could possibly do is take it off the stove to partake.

Stew peas is less an orchestra than a gauzy jam band playing well after last call.

In the absence of pig’s tail, you could use whatever pork you’ve got on hand. Or you can swap out that protein entirely for beef. Once, in a bind and miles away from the nearest Caribbean grocer, I cooked the dish with the Chinese sausage in the back of a boyfriend’s fridge and genuinely couldn’t have been more pleased with the result. And in the cookbook “Original Flava,” the chefs Craig and Shaun McAnuff remove meat entirely, noting that “there’s so much flavor already that meat doesn’t have to be the star attraction.” Each memory of enjoying the dish created a recipe in itself, entirely honest to the moment in which I partook of it.

As it did for any number of recipes, our most recent pandemic rewired my sense of the dish. Stew peas had been window dressing for me — familiar, omnipresent, delicious. But as the months passed, this dish’s necessary gentleness became less of a habit or a memory than a remedy — one of the primary compulsions for me to actually cook something. And I’d experienced that with several dishes, like the velvety richness of nikujaga and thit kho; or the elation of chewing ropa vieja after a full day of anticipation. But stew peas had already woven their way into the background of my life: cooked on a lazy Sunday alongside a partner, or munched as leftovers, or shared among friends far too late in the evening, balancing a bowl on my knee beneath a table of beer. The dish laid a foundation for me to really feel every meal that followed it. And, for me at least, this motion — of slowness, of a meal that’s taking form as the day unfolds — became just as much a feeling as a flavor. Another way of feeling the time pass. The sort of ingredient whose absence, when taken for granted, immediately becomes distinct: So it’s no surprise that when I’m away from my place, stew peas is what I’m looking to conjure. And when friends visit, it’s one of the things I most want to share with them.

As Suzanne Barr notes in “My Ackee Tree,” “building flavor is the key to developing any delicious dish.” Stew peas is a chance to allow life to carry you alongside it, less an orchestra than a gauzy jam band playing well after last call. After you’ve combined the peas and the meat, you could start your laundry. For more than two hours, the pot simmers until the peas have softened, bubbling their own low chatter while you fiddle with podcasts or text friends from the sofa. Eventually, you roll the spinners in your hands, adding them to the dish, setting your rice on another pan. And then the dish is done.

Cooking is labor. It’s work. What if one route was looking for gentleness and slowness on this front, toward ourselves and others? Cooking this dish fortified that patience for me, allowing it to settle into my daily revolutions along with all of its ingredients.

Then again, taste can be clumsy. Feeling is easier. A few months back, ambling around Provincetown after a too-late evening, I wandered out one morning on a mission for friends, searching for brunch ingredients with a tote bag full of pot and jam. At a park bench beside a market, a woman who worked there leaned over a bowl of stew peas. I’d seen her in town earlier that week. And this dish couldn’t have been on the menu. But she relished it, and she glanced my way, allowing me to relish it, too — and we shared the moment for another few seconds before we both moved on.

Easy Braised Lamb Chops With Veggies

I originally wasn't going to post a recipe on this, because it was my first time making it and I was a bit intimidated. However, after cooking it today and figuring out how easy it was to actually make, and how absolutely delicious it turned out, I feel like I can share this with confidence that anyone can also recreate it! Both my family and I were absolutely blown away at how tender, savory, and comforting this meal was and even my toddler stuffed her face full of it and asked for even more! Not only that, but I feel like you can recreate this recipe with many substitutions, using beef or whatever vegetables you'd like, along with whatever spices you would like, and it would equally turn out amazing! Although there is a lot of ingredients due to spices, actually cooking it is extremely easy and pretty hands-off, much like a dump-and-go meal! For this recipe, I did use a pressure cooker to speed up the process, because I wanted fall-off-the-bone-tender meat without having to wait 3+ hours. However, you can recreate this recipe using a slow cooker as well, if you don't have a pressure cooker. As long as your lamb reaches 145 degrees, then it is cooked through!

Ingredients:

(Makes about 2 servings)

1-2lb pack of lamb chops

1 carrot, chopped

1/2 a large white onion, chopped

2 stalks of celery, chopped

2 tablespoons of garlic, minced

4 cups of beef broth

1 1/2 tablespoons of tomato bouillon powder

3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon of Worcester sauce

1 bay leaf

1/2 tablespoon cinnamon

1/2 tablespoon of oregano

1/2 tablespoon of basil

1/2 tablespoon of thyme

1/2 tablespoon of rosemary

1/2 tablespoon of fennel seed

1/2 tablespoon of salt

1/2 tablespoon of pepper

1/2 tablespoon of paprika

3 tablespoons of cornstarch

1 tablespoon of preferred oil

Instructions:

Chop all your veggies and place them aside to add later.

If you would like to, season your meat now with preferred seasonings. I used salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Turn your pressure cooker to the 'Sear' setting on high.

Add in your lamb chops to the pressure cooker and sear them on both sides until browned, then set aside.

Add your oil to the pot then toss your veggies and all your seasonings and bouillon into the pot, but not your liquids or cornstarch. Cook, stirring occassionally, until veggies have softened slightly.

Pour in your broth and all liquids into the pot and stir, then add your meat back into the pot as well.

Turn off Sear mode and turn on Pressure Cook instead, and set to high for 45 minutes, then begin cooking everything but the cornstarch.

Once timer goes off, allow to release steam naturally, then take off lid.

Take out meat and set aside, feel free to pick out the bones now.

Set pot back to sear on high.

Mix cornstarch with a little bit of cold water, then add into pot and stir until thickened. Turn off heat once done.

Serve meat and veggies smothered with the sauce and enjoy! Best served over mashed potatoes or rice.

Condensed Recipe for Pros:

Sear meat in pressure cooker, set aside.

Sear veggies in pressure cooker until slightly tender.

Add meat back to pot along with all liquids and seasonings, keep cornstarch out.

Pressure cook for 45 min on high

Once done, take meat out.

Turn pot back to sear and add in cornstarch mixed with a little bit of water, stir until thickened. Once thickened, turn off heat.

Plate meat and veggies smothered with the sauce over mashed potatoes or rice. Enjoy!
