Sometimes as I clean out my pantry, I find odd spices and seasonings. Most of them we got for free from sportsman shows, and some were given to us by friends. I usually try them out and decide they aren’t great. But every once in a while, I find a gem. And one seasoning I found on my baking shelf is the best thing ever.
This container of seasoning came from a good friend. I think we were at his house and complimented the dinner he made. He gave us a container of the seasoning he used, but I never opened it, and it got lost among all the other food in my kitchen.
As a test, I tried it on some diced chicken breast that I make for dinner a lot. I usually add some bottled sauce to the pan just as the chicken is cooked. It’s not an amazing meal, but it’s easy and healthy. I have to tell you that the seasoning from my friend elevated this simple chicken dish from good to great.
I put this on all the meats I make. One of my favorite dishes is to put a row of green beans, a row of two chicken breasts, and a row of cubed potatoes in a small baking pan. I sprinkle this seasoning all over and cook at it at 400 degrees for forty minutes to an hour, depending on how thick the chicken is. It’s awesome.
Okay, enough suspense. What is this tasty seasoning? It is J. Lee Roy’s Cookin’ Seasonings. J Lee Roy is apparently California’s Cookin’ Cowboy, which makes sense because my friend lives in California, so he probably found it there.
I can’t tell you everything that is in this since the second ingredient is “spices,” but J. Lee Roy knows his seasonings.
Come visit me, and I’ll make you dinner using this seasoning. I think you’ll like it as much as I do.
