Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 pound whole chicken (or chicken pieces equal to 4 pounds)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 medium onions diced
  • 4 ribs celery diced
  • ¼ green bell pepper diced
  • 1 pod red chili pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • salt and pepper to taste

For serving:

  • 12 hamburger buns
  • 12 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken and bay leaves in a deep pot with enough water to just cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook covered until the chicken is tender (about 40 minutes). (See notes for pressure cooker instructions.)
  2. Remove the chicken from the broth and allow it to cool enough to handle. Remove and discard all skin and bones. Set the meat aside. Reserve all the broth.
  3. While the chicken is cooking, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  4. Place the flour in a cast iron skillet and cook it in the oven, stirring about every 10 minutes, until lightly browned (this step takes about 40 minutes). Set the flour aside.
  5. Chop or dice the garlic, onions, green bell pepper, and celery.
  6. Bring the reserved stock to a boil. Add the vegetables and cook over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes.
  7. Add all the reserved meat to the pot and bring to a gentle boil.
  8. In a medium bowl, use a whisk to combine the melted butter, cream of mushroom soup, and the browned flour. Mix until thoroughly combined and free of any lumps.
  9. Add the butter-soup-flour mixture to the hot mixture stirring well.
  10. Reduce the heat and simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  11. Open hamburger buns and spread each side generously with butter.
  12. Place under the broiler until toasted.
  13. To serve, remove the red pepper pod (if used). Place two bun halves in a bowl. Pour jallop over the buns and serve immediately.

Notes

  • The first step in the recipe, cooking the chicken, can easily be done in the pressure cooker or instant pot. Place the chicken in the cooker with 1 cup water. Set the instant pot for 12 minutes at high (or cook for 12 minutes after the pressure cooker achieves a seal). Cool immediately to release the pressure.
