Ingredients:
2 heads cabbage ( small)
2 medium onions
10 slices bacon
2 large chicken breasts ( with bone)
2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans great northern beans
8 medium potatoes ( cubed)
2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
8 chicken bouillon cubes
8 (14 ounce) cans water ( from chicken broth can)
Directions:
Render fat from bacon (more rendered bacon fat may be needed if you wish to use any two larger heads of cabbage).
Remove bacon from skillet and chop into bite size pieces. Set aside and let drain on paper towels.
Shred cabbage as if making coleslaw.
Slice onions into thin half moon.
Saute cabbage and onion in bacon fat until lightly browned.
Mix bacon pieces in with cabbage and onions. Set aside and let drain on paper towels.
Peel potatoes. Dice into bite sized pieces.
Season chicken with Soul Seasoning and pepper (or whatever you have around).
Fry until well browned in skillet with bacon fat.
Add chicken broth, bouillon cubes, potatoes and water.
Boil until chicken well tender.
Set aside two chicken halves to cool.
Shred into chunky bite sized shreds.
Add chicken, potatoes, cabbage mixture and 2 cans of northern beans.
Boil all until rendered down into thick gravy like consistency.
Let cook until chicken is tender and all flavors are well blended, at least for 1-1 1/2 hours extra. Remember the longer you cook this, the better it is going to taste, so a crock pot would be “PERFECT” for this particular dish.
NOTE: If dish is too fatty for you.
After and only after frying the chicken, you may take a paper towel and take the grease out of the pan, if you are cooking in a skillet or pot of some kind do not clean the skillet.
You will need all the flavor on bottom of pan for flavoring.
