Degas did you make it?

I'm about to. I've made variations of the dish like smothered chicken where I use white wine, but this will be the first time I'm making the authentic dish with red wine and mushrooms. I've got homemade chicken stock and was looking for ways to use it and thought I'd give this a shot.

Zydeco Green Beans and Huge Kegged Breasts


This is one of my favorite dishes. Of course many would think of green beans as a side dish but this is sooooo...... good over white rice it was intended to be the main part of the meal. I did grill a few chicken breasts that were so big I decided to cut the down some. I will say this always reminds me of my mother and that's where I learned to cook this. She was a great cook!!!!!

Started out with five pounds of frozen whole(but not really that big)green beans and used about three pounds of Kiolbassa smoked beef sausage. That is some delicious sausage!!! I did add half a pound of tasso for a little extra smoky flavor. Cooked down about 5-6 cup of diced onions, five large toes of garlic and added the sausage back(browned it a bit first)then added some chicken base and water then the beans and let it come up to a good simmer and covered it and cooked until tender. With a good sausage you don't really need much seasoning except for black papper and no salt because of the chicken base.



Oh, can't forget the potatoes. Here they are done! That juice you see is fantastic on fresh cooked white rice!



The chicken on the grill seasoned simply.



Time to eat! Had a lil potato salad left from the other day and I whipped up a quick cornbread as the homemade loaves of bread I was making weren't rising quick enough to be done in time for dinner.



These were so good I'm thinking of calling them "More Green Beans". Everyone that has them always gore back for more. Lol.........
