Chicken In Beer Sauce -- Pollo A La Cerveza - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 - 3 1/2 lbs cut up chicken pieces
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
12 ounces lager beer
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes

Preparation

In a ziplock bag, mix the flour, 1 tsp of the salt and the pepper.
Add the chicken pieces, seal the bag and shake up and down to coat the chicken.
Heat oil in a large, fairly deep frying pan.
Add chicken and cook on both sides until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
Remove chicken from the pan.
Lower the heat slightly and add the onion, garlic and pepper to the pan.
Saute for a couple minutes, then add the carrots.
Cook for another couple minutes, then add the tomatoes and remaining salt, if needed.
Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the beer and potatoes.
Top with the chicken and bring to a boil.
Cover and let simmer over a low heat for 30 minutes.
Remove the cover and cook for 5-10 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
You can re-brown the chicken in a bit of oil in a second skillet, just before serving.
I find it needs this\"touch up\" especially if it still has the skin on.
Serve with your favourite green veggies.
