Here, in Southern Illinois, we are blessed to have a young family operated business that makes incredible packaged spice blends.  They are delicious!  They ship, so regardless of where you are, you can try them!  Check out The Jay Effect!

Here is one of many recipes I've created to use their spice blends.  You'll love it.

Chicken & Cauliflower 

This Sunday Dinner recipe is made better with The Jay Effect Garlic & Herb seasoning! I use my air fryer oven and my Ninja pot which goes from braising to a crock pot, so it is easy on preparation time!

Begin by dredging six chicken pieces first in egg and milk whisked together, then dipped in flour.  Season the meat generously with The Jay Effect.  Braise it in a couple Tablespoons of olive oil to brown it, then add 2 Tablespoons of flour to the olive oil to make a light roux.  Add 1 ½ cups of chicken broth and ½ cup of white wine and a sprig of Rosemary.  Using the crockpot setting, cook high for 1 hour.  The broth will have thickened, and the chicken will be “fall off the bone” tender. 

While the chicken is slow cooking, use the air fryer oven to start the cauliflower.  Separate a small cauliflower into flowerets.  Put them on a sheet pan and drizzle them with olive oil.  Sprinkle them generously with The Jay Effect and cook them for 15 minutes at 360 degrees.  Add them to the crockpot of chicken and let them finish cooking. 

Serve the chicken and cauliflower.  Serve the sauce over noodles or rice.  Add a colorful garnish to your plate, because it will be “all beige” otherwise!   Enjoy!
