Sharing a scrumptious and easy braised chicken (sausage) recipe for all beer lovers! If you love beer and citrus, this simple braise will make you really happy!  

One of comforting chicken dinner, in my family, over weekend is braised/roasted chicken. Seared chicken, braised in a flavorful broth, low and slow in oven.... then served over a bed of rice or with wheat bread. comfort at it's best! The best thing I like about braised chicken even though it needs sometime to braise, the active time spent standing in the kitchen is very less! A huge relief for Sunday dinner! After cooking all weekday at home..... seriously! no kidding, I do try to make all weekday meals at home! So, Sunday it always feels like to get something easy on the plates and call it a day! Start week afresh! 

How about you?
Do you cook all weekday meals at home? What about Sunday? Does it feel like Sunday should be a takeout or easy dinner??? I mean, least cooking kind-a dinner?

Cooking with favorite Bear - Beer Braised Chicken with Carrots and Peas

Last weekend, I was out of frozen chicken, but had this spicy Chicken Sausage! So, for a change, I decided to braise chicken sausage with citrus and beer. The sweetness of citrus and beer pairs very will with spicy chicken sausage. Especially, the braising liquid mixed with simple steamed rice is really delightful! To me, it is also a great way to utilize leftover beer bottles!!

By virtue of using a lean chicken sausage, this dish has less fat-calories. You can also make this beer-braise with chicken breasts or turkey. Also, I have used Amber Lager beer, for a more intense hop flavor, you can opt for a dark lager.
