Country Chicken Hot-pot

There are many regional versions of Hot-Pot that all use fresh, local ingredients. Now, there is an endless variety of ingredients available all year, perfect for traditional one-pot cooking. This recipe is from Tom Bridge’s "What’s Cooking: Chicken." This dish is also delicious with stewing lamb, cut into chunks. You can also add different vegetables depending on what is in season. The author suggests trying leeks and rutabaga for a slightly sweeter flavor. Serve the Hot-Pot with dumplings for a truly hearty meal.

I'm sorry, I really didn't care for this recipe. I cooked it exactly as written, and the bottom layer just turned out to be a greasy mess. I don't know, maybe if I would have taken the skin off of the chicken, but it didn't specify to do that. Also, I wasn't sure if I should brown the bacon first, so I didn't. That also turned out soggy, even with the last 1/2 hour cooking without the lid on. The chicken itself was pretty bland, too. Again, maybe I did something wrong. I kind of hope so, because I really, really wanted to like this recipe! Sorry I couldn't give a better review.Reply
