Chicken and Spaetzle Tagine with Yellow 7 Pot and Hefeweizen Sauce

Equipment needed:

Tagine or large heavy pot with tight fitting lid.
Stand mixer or hand mixer (you could mix spaetzle dough by hand if you had to)
Spatzlepresse (you can also use a potato ricer which is similar or just put dough into a colander and press through the holes with a spatula)

Ingredients: (for chicken marinade and sauce)

2 large chicken breasts (bone in, skin on)
2 Tbsp butter
3-4 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp saffron
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp tumeric
Juice and zest of one lemon
Juice of one lime
half of a hefeweizen beer
1 c water
1-2 Tbsp cornstarch

3 cloves of garlic
1 large onion
1 yellow 7 pot pepper (in this instance this was the first one we harvested off of our plant this year! :party:)

For spaetzle:

1 3/4 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 - 3/4 c water

Directions:

Wash and pat dry chicken. Place chicken in large bowl.
Crush or finely mince garlic and add to bowl.
Add olive oil, dry spices and salt to bowl.
Give those breasts a nice, gentle massage ;)
Set chicken aside in fridge to marinade for 30 mins to 1 hour.

While chicken and marinade are doing their thing, slice up the onion. Also cut up 7 pot pepper and set aside for later.
Melt butter in bottom of the tagine and brown onion until caramelized to your liking.
Move onions to outside of pan and brown the skin side of the chicken.
Remove chicken and set aside once it has browned.
Add any left over marinade to pan.
Add beer and water to deglaze pan.
Bring to a boil and add 7 pot pepper, lemon zest, lemon juice and lime juice.
Add chicken and reduce to simmer, cover and continue to simmer for 2 hours.
When chicken is done, remove and set aside in covered dish for a few minutes.
Bring liquid back to a full boil.

For spaetzle:

Combine flour, salt, eggs in stand mixer.
Add water bit by bit until correct consistency is achieved (dough should peel away from spatula)
Let dough rest 10 mins.
Load dough into spatzlepresse and press directly into boiling stock.
Remove spaetzle when they float (3-4 mins) and set aside.
Dissolve cornstarch in cold water and add to stock to tighten up the sauce.

Serve chicken over spaetzle with sauce.
