This simple, 4 ingredient chicken recipe was on the back of the Heinz 57 bottle for many years. I saw it on a message board and couldn't wait to try it in my dutch oven. What a great camping recipe and you could easily double it in a larger oven or cut it in half for just the two of you. The chicken melts in your mouth and the silky sauce has a buttery, tangy flavor. Sear the chicken over as many coals as will fit under your oven and put enough on the lid to keep the sauce at a steady simmer. Serve it over rice, it's easy, economical and delicious.

Been eating this for many years. It’s great w a baked potato(use the sauce over the potato too). Having this tonight.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a little girl this was the recipe on the back of the Heinz 57 glass bottle (1960's). Only difference was we lightly floured the chicken before browning thus giving a thicker sauce in the finished dish. Best dish ever. Love Heinz 57!
