Smoked Chicken w/Carmelized Onion Sauce

I promise this is the last smoked thing I'll do for a long time!  Jay smoked some chicken this weekend so I figured this would be a good time to do it for our freezer swap while it is fresh.

The carmelized onion sauce is very rich and it is a strong flavor....a little goes a long way.  Kids would like it if they are adventurous eaters.  There are several ways to go about this dish:

1.  Serve the chicken over rice with or without the sauce.
2.  My favorite way:  Make an open faced sandwich with the chicken and top with melted cheese (under the broiler)
3.  Reserve the sauce for another time and serve it over pork chops or cooked chicken breast.
4.  Eat the chicken with your favorite BBQ sauce.

To heat the chicken:  place it in a pot of simmering water for 15 minutes.

To heat the sauce:  place it in a sauce pan on medium until it is melted and then heated through.  If it is too thick you can thin it with chicken stock.

Carmelized Onion Sauce

• Chop 4 medium onions into half circles
• Add enough oil to coat the bottom of a large saute pan
• Sweat the onions on medium heat for 10 minutes then season with a pinch of salt and about 1tsp. sugar
• Carmelize the onions by cooking on medium heat for about 30 minutes or until browned
• Remove onions and add 2 T flour to drippings in the pan to make a roux.  (If there are no drippings add 2 T butter.)
• Add 2 cups of chicken broth and half a can of evaporated milk and bring to a simmer to thicken.
