Fried Chicken Thighs w/ Fried Potatoes and Canned Green Beans

Dinner Tonight: Fried Chicken Thighs w/ Fried Potatoes and Canned Green Beans






For Breakfast this morning I had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. Cloudy and 42 degrees out today, we need some sunshine around here! After my Tea I headed off to Kroger. We're having more

family over for Christmas Eve than we thought so I needed to find some Items to prepare for the
Christmas Eve Party. I ended up buying some Lunch Meat and Cheese to make Meat and Cheese Tray. Then I bought a loaf of Mini Cocktail Rye Bread and a Pork Tenderloin Roast. I'll bake the Roast and slice it thin and lightly bake the Rye Bread and make Mini Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches, with Spicy Mustard and Horseradish Sauce on the side for toppings. Finally I bought a couple of Frozen Appetizers for the Kids that I'll bake. I stopped by McDonald's and picked up Breakfast for Mom. Cleaned the house and then later watched some NFL Football. For Dinner tonight I prepared Fried Chicken Thighs w/ Fried Potatoes and Canned Green Beans.

I purchased another package of the Simple Truth Boneless and Skinless Chicken Thighs from Kroger

earlier today and having them tonight for Dinner. To prepare them I’ll just need Flour, Morton’s Lite Salt, Ground Pepper, and Extra Light Olive Oil.












To start I grabbed a large skillet, sprayed it with Pam Non Stick Spray, added 1 1/2 tablespoons of

Extra Light Olive Oil, and heated it on medium heat. As the skillet was heating I got a pie pan out and put 2 tablespoons of flour in it. Next I got the Chicken Thighs out of the package and seasoned them with Salt and Pepper. With the skillet heated I added the Thighs to the skillet and put a lid on the skillet. Fried the Thighs for about 8 minutes and then flipped them over, put the lid back on the skillet to cook another 7 minutes.






I got a plate and put paper towel on it and removed the Chicken Thighs from the skillet to the lined

plate. Paper towel absorbs any of the excess oil. Just love the crust on the Chicken provided by the Flour Coating! The Flour and cooking it in a Cast Iron Skillet. The Chicken Thighs were moist and flat out delicious!










For one side we had Fried Potatoes! I’ve loved these all my life and my Mom makes the best! I

bought a bag of Medium Size Red Potatoes, which we’ll be using. To prepare them; first wash the Whole Potatoes and dry with a paper towel. Next grab a Cast Iron Skillet and add 1 tablespoon of Extra Light Olive Oil and heat the Skillet on high.









With the skillet heated add the Potatoes. After adding the Potatoes add your Seasoning, we just used

Salt and Pepper. Then fry until the Potatoes start to turn brown. Then flip them with a spatula and continue frying until done. I love these Potatoes and they are so easy to prepare.











Then I opened up a Mason Jar of our Canned Green Beans, canned last summer. Love these Beans,

they taste just as fresh as the day we bought them. Just heat them up in a sauce pan with a small piece of Pork and serve. Fresh Green Beans in December, I love it! For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and Peach Snapple to drink.
