Notes

I think the notes people include in their recipes make them more personal. If I write a note myself about a recipe, it will always be written in purple.

Chicken Braised in Spicy Tangelo-Olive Sauce

1 cup fresh tangelo juice (2 to 3 tangelos)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
4 teaspoons Creole or Cajun seasoning, divided
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 1/2 lb. cut-up chicken, cut into 12 pieces*

pimiento-stuffed olives

In medium bowl, stir together tangelo juice, lime juice, 2 teaspoons of the
Creole seasoning and cumin. In shallow dish, stir together flour and remaining 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning. Dip chicken in juice mixture; dip in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Reserve remaining juice mixture for sauce.

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add chicken in batches; cook 5 to 10 minutes or until browned on all sides. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil as necessary. Drain off excess pan drippings.

Add bell pepper to same skillet; cook 5 minutes or until softened. Stir in
reserved juice mixture, olives and honey; bring to a boil. Return chicken to skillet; cover. Reduce heat to low; simmer 20 minutes. Remove cover; cook an additional 5 minutes or until sauce has reduced and thickened slightly and chicken is no longer pink in center. Serve chicken with sauce.

TIP *Cut chicken into pieces using kitchen shears. Remove excess fat or skin from chicken.
