With couscous and pita bread, this tasty chicken and veggie slow cooker dish complements each other perfectly.

Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 20 mins
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons canola oil
  2. ½ cup white popcorn kernels
  3. ½ teaspoon popcorn salt, divided
  4. ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
  5. ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
  6. ⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  7. ⅛ teaspoon ground chipotle chile pepper
  8. ⅛ teaspoon ground ancho chile pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat canola oil in a large pot over medium-high heat; add 1 popcorn kernel to hot oil. The oil is ready when kernel pops.
  2. Pour popcorn kernels into hot oil; season with 1/2 of the popcorn salt. Stir to coat. Cover the pot with a sheet of aluminum foil. Poke about 10 holes into the aluminum foil using a knife. Cook popcorn until all kernels are popped, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the pot from heat.
  3. Sprinkle popcorn with remaining popcorn salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, chipotle chile pepper, and ancho chile pepper. Toss to evenly coat.
  4. I like using a stainless metal bowl, so I don’t have to transfer the popcorn when it’s done; you just have to let the bowl cool slightly. If you make the popcorn several times, it will likely start to make the bowl a little blackened/seasoned on the bottom, so I use it exclusively for popcorn.

Whatever the name, it’s good. I doubled the spices & used granulated garlic, which may be why it was a bit too garlicky. It doesn’t look spicy so ya may want to add a bit of paprika as a warning to those who need a warning. Haha.

I melted a tiny amount of butter (couple tbsps) and added the seasonings to the butter. I also increased the garlic and onion powder. Delicious and most definetly addictive. Next time, I will double the recipe.

The amount of oil for the popcorn was wonderful! I didn’t have that oily feeling as I ate it! The heat of this was noticeable, but not overwhelming! I’ll be making this again!
