This recipe was posted on the Facebook page of popular PBS TV chef and cookbook author Lidia Bastianich.  You can find the recipe here:  Chicken in Beer.  The looks like a great autumn dish.  And it’s not too heavy in fat and calories, so you won’t need to seek out the best studio for exercise and weight loss austin, or wherever you live, has to offer.

I haven’t tried it yet, but I plan to make it sometime this week.  As a craft brew lover, the hardest part for me is trying to decide which beer to use.

I am sort of leaning towards using a pumpkin ale, perhaps the Pumpkinhead seasonal ale that Shipyard puts out.  I have four bottles of it at the moment, and we can still get more, at least for now.

Pumpkin would go well with the other ingredients, I think.  We have the cinnamon and cloves thing going on here.  And I’ve seen many a pumpkin ravioli served with a sage-butter sauce.  And pumpkin and apple flavors go well together, too.

I might try using a hard cider, simply because Woodchuck makes a wonderful one with Granny Smith apples, and I’m always looking for an excuse to buy some!

We shall see.  After I make it, I’ll let you know how it turned out!
