Keywords: Poultry, Meat, Very Low Carbs, < 4 Hours

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 3 pounds chicken (bone-in, skin-on or boneless, skinless)
• 2 cups coconut milk
• 1 bottle (12 ounces) Shiner Bock beer
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 1 bell pepper, diced (red or green)

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare: Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Ensure the pan is sufficiently hot before adding the chicken to achieve a good sear.

2. Brown the Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Brown the chicken on both sides until golden and crisp, which should take about 4-5 minutes per side. This step will add a deep flavor and color to the dish.

3. Drain Excess Oil: Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the pan and set it aside. Carefully pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the drippings. These drippings are essential for adding flavor to the sauce.

4. Simmer the Chicken: Return the browned chicken to the pan. Pour in the coconut milk and Shiner Bock beer. Stir well to combine, ensuring that the chicken is well coated with the mixture. Increase the heat to bring the liquid to a boil.

5. Cook Until Tender: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.

6. Add Vegetables: After the initial simmering, add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper to the pan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for an additional 15-20 minutes. This step will allow the vegetables to cook through and the sauce to thicken.

7. Adjust Consistency: Keep an eye on the liquid level. If it starts to evaporate before reaching the desired thickness, add a little more Shiner Bock beer to the pan. The sauce should reduce to a consistency similar to gravy.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Once the sauce has thickened and the chicken is tender, remove the pan from heat. Serve the Shiner Bock Chicken hot over a bed of rice or with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.

Notes:

• Chicken Choice: For this recipe, you can use either bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces for a richer flavor or boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a leaner option.
• Coconut Milk Substitution: If you prefer a sweeter dish, you can use cream of coconut instead of coconut milk. Be aware that this will result in a sweeter sauce compared to using coconut milk.

Enjoy this delectable Shiner Bock Chicken, a dish that’s sure to impress with its blend of savory and slightly sweet flavors. Perfect for a cozy dinner or a casual gathering with friends and family!
