Shiner Bock Chicken

Total Time: 1 hr 10 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 50 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 3 lbs chicken, cut into serving pieces (about)
• 2 cups coconut milk
• 1 cup shiner bock beer (if you can't get shiner bock, any other dark beer would probably work)
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 large bell pepper, chopped
• salt and pepper

Recipe

• 1 heat oil in large dutch oven or saucepan.
• 2 brown the chicken on both sides.
• 3 take the chicken out of the pan and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the drippings.
• 4 return the chicken to the pan, add the coconut milk and beer, and bring to a boil.
• 5 reduce heat, cover the pan and simmer until the chicken is almost tender, about 30 minutes.
• 6 add the vegetables and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• 7 simmer, uncovered, until the liquid has thickened to the consistency of gravy, about 15-20 minutes more.
• 8 if the liquid evaporates before then, add more beer.
• 9 note: i used boneless skinless chicken breasts and a 12-ounce bottle of shiner bock when i made this, and it turned out great.
• 10 note: you can also use cream of coconut instead of coconut milk (i did this by accident the first time i made it, not realizing that there was a difference!)- it still comes out tasting good, but the resulting dish is a lot sweeter than if it's made with coconut milk.
