What's For Dinner Tonight?

tonight it is grilled chicken n taters with apple gravy.....the gravy is what makes it great though. I dont really follow recipes too often, but I found this last thanksgiving, and this shit is just amazing! :) here's the recipe if you'd like to give it a shot

Gravy:
2 cups (about) canned low-salt chicken broth
1/4 cup apple cider
2 tbsp. cornstarch
For gravy:
Using slotted spoon, transfer apples from pan juices to bowl. Pour pan juices into 4-cup measuring cup. Spoon off fat and discard. Add enough chicken broth to pan juices to measure 4 cups. Transfer broth mixture to large saucepan; simmer 5 minutes. Add reserved apples; simmer 2 minutes. Mix apple cider and cornstarch in small bowl. Whisk into gravy. Boil until gravy thickens, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

keep in mind that this was pulled from a thanksgiving turkey recipe, so calls for "pan juices" from said turkey.... this will be the first time I'm making it w/o the turkey drippings, so we'll see how it turns out. I'm sure it will be fine though :)

I never would have tried it without someone recommending it to me for the very same reason!

thats why i'm pretty sure i've never had it.... i'm pretty new to using coffee in cooking, but did recently find out about it.... I worked for an older Brazilian lady about a year ago, and she had some badass chili..... wouldnt give me the recipe, but swore that black coffee and a hint of chocolate were her secret ingredients.... i've been interested since then
 
I just had home made fried chicken the other night...very good...always.

I think I prefer Church's or Popeye's chicken over KFC....and I am a sucker for Popeye's red beans and rice.
