Smothered chicken - from a jar

Some are going to hate the jar part, but I am a single dad, and I often have little time to cook after work. So, I always look for short cuts. This jar from Cajun Power is amazing. I followed the instructionss by browning a load of thighs then let them simmer all afternoon yesterday while I was gone. This was the best thing I have cooked all year.

Oh well if the chicken isn’t in the jar this is much more agreeable

No, used about 4 lbs of thighs.

I just bought a jar of this a week ago to try. I swear by the garlic sauce. Did you have to add anything or simply followed the directions on the jar?

I can drink that stuff. I've never used a gumbo base from a jar, but I've got a jar of Cajun Power gumbo base my mom gave me

Also, FYI, There are a lot of other products like this out there labeled as “simmer sauces” and what not.
Most are pretty good.

Where can I find this in Baton Rouge?

I have no problem with simmer sauces. I like using Thai and Indian ones for shortcuts. Often, those require some ingredients that I don't readily have on hand or are one time purchases. The only issue with them is that they typically have a ton of salt in them.

I cooked it way longer than suggested because I had no choice. Some people might have thought this was a bit too hot. Probably doesn't need the Tony's.

I've seen it and often wondered about it. I almost bought a jar just to taste the sauce. Would that sauce work on pork chops?

I think it would work on any meat really.

I’ll buy their shrimp stew mix and the fresh peeled, deveined shrimp from Rouses. Makes for a tasty, easy dinner.

The Thai green curry simmer sauce from Trader Joe’s is very good. I like it with vegetables and shrimp.

Browning the chicken is like 90% of the active cooking time for the dish so you really didn't save any time.

Sir, you need an Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker. I'm not a gadget cook, I like doing most things from scratch. But the IP is a necessary tool in your kitchen arsenal if you're strapped for time.
You can stick rock hard frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts in the IP....season 'em a little, add 1/2 cup water in the bottom, and cook at high pressure for 12 mins. You'll have a bunch of chicken ready to shred for chicken salad, sandwiches, taco filling (toss w/some salsa), etc.
Cook red beans in 45 mins, no soaking....lentils in 10, etc.

They used to have a chili in that same jar and I was looking at it and it has a chili dog recipe on the back. Like I needed a recipe but I bought it anyway because reading it made me want a chili dog. Got to the register and the lady told me they were two for one so I ended up with two jars.
We had a chili dog party that weekend. It was perfect for that use.
