Easy Roasting on the stove top

This is one of the easiest and best ways to roast meats.  I just did with chicken breasts last night.  They are full of flavor and just fall apart.  This is all you have to do.  Heat up a 6 quart oval dutch oven over medium high heat with a little oil or butter.  I love Staub because the lid is very heavy and it creates a tight seal.  It works like a pressure cooker.  Salt and pepper the meat.  In this case chicken breasts.  When the oil is hot put the chicken breasts in the oil beast down.  Let it brown for a couple of minutes and then turn over and brown the other side.  Turn down the heat to low and cover.  Let it cook for about 2 hours.  The meat will fall apart with a fork when done.  This is a great way to cook inexpensive cuts of meat.  Try it out.  You will love it.  You can experiment by adding different dry herbs to the outside for different taste.  Have fun!
