The aromas of some dishes often bring back happy memories like our Remember Chicken just might do. This easy chicken dish will certainly be a mealtime memory-maker for you any time you make it.

What You'll Need

1 (3- to 4-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
flour as needed (season with a little salt, pepper and paprika)
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cans (15 ounces each) black-eyed peas
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 medium tomato, chopped

What to Do

Rinse chicken, pat dry with paper towels and coat with seasoned flour.
In a Dutch oven, heat butter and oil; add chicken and cook slowly, until golden brown on both sides. Remove chicken and keep warm.
Sauté onion in the Dutch oven until tender, about 5 minutes. Add black-eyed peas, chicken broth and oregano; bring to a boil. Arrange the chicken over the black-eyed pea mixture, pressing the chicken into the peas. Sprinkle tomato over the top; reduce heat and simmer covered for 35 to 40 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and fully cooked.

Notes

For a different taste, try water or wine instead of the chicken broth. You can also use any canned beans: great Northern, cannellini, limas, etc. Substitute tarragon or thyme for the oregano.
