Something about chicken and grits just puts a smile on this girls face and makes my mouth water. I decided to make a version of chicken and grits with a twist! Hope you like it as much as I did. There were no left overs tonight!
Cook six slices of bacon in a pan over medium heat.
When the bacon is done, remove and let sit over a paper towel to catch the grease.
Chop 3/4 cup onion...
Along with 3/4 cup red pepper...
And about 3 garlic cloves...
Put the pan back on medium heat (with the left over bacon grease) and add in the vegetables.
While the veggies begin to cook chop up about 4 chicken breasts into cubes. Throw the chicken into the pan with the vegetables. Cook until the chicken has cooked through.
In a small bowl mix together 3 tablespoons of flour with two cups of chicken broth...
1 teaspoon dried thyme...
And finally 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice....
Whisk together and add over the top of the chicken and vegetables. Cook until thick and creamy and remove from heat... (cover so it stays warm while you whip up the grits!)
In a medium sauce pan add in 4 cups of water...
With one cup milk...
And one cup heavy cream... (this will make the grits just melt in your mouth!)
Bring to a boil and add in 1 1/4 cup stone ground grits.
When the grits have cooked and become creamy... add in 1 cup shredded cheese
And a pinch of salt
Finally... chop up your bacon and sprinkle over the top of the chicken over the grits. Can't go wrong with bacon!
