Melted Red Pepper Chicken in Granite Ware Roaster

After 3 years of not seeing my family, I traveled to eastern (Metz) and southwestern (Bordeaux and Arcachon Bay) France this summer. I am back in the U.S.A. with my head full of memories and my palate satisfied with so much good food and drinks!

Today I am writing about a cooking method that I discovered from my mother in law. She often exclaimed how happy she was with her Granite Ware roaster. What is incredible is that this product is made in the U.S. and I did not know about it.

Finally, I gave in and bought it. I made this Melted Red Pepper Chicken recipe. To my surprise, the chicken was well roasted, really moist, and juicy. The vegetables were soft, almost melting in my mouth, and full of flavor.

What I like using this cooking method is that the preparation was short and once in it, you can forget about it because this cooks slowly with the steam inside so you do not need to turn it or baste with pan juice and no oven cleaning after which is really great.
