As am I -- especially since in my case the alternative would have been
septic shock.

I had heard those same things.  But, like you, I have yet to run across
anything I cannot eat.  Granted my consumption of deep fried foods is
very much reduced from what it used to be 30+ years ago.  My consumption
of spicy foods has remained constant.

    1/2 c  Flour
      4 ea Chicken breasts - BONELESS
      2 tb Peanut oil - or more

MMMMM-----------------VEGETABLES (SEE NOTE BELOW----------------------
      3 c  Chopped onions
      3 c  Chopped green bell pepper
      3 c  Chopped celery
      3 cn Canned diced tomatoes with
           Juice
      3 ea 8 oz canned tomato sauce
      2 tb Finely chopped jalapeno
           -pepper (fresh!  Remove
           Seeds and membrane)
      5 tb Minced garlic
      1 tb Tabasco sauce
      3 tb Dry roux
      1 cn V-8
 
  Serves Eight as Buffet Dish. Can be served as stand alone dish or
  served over cooked white rice.
  
  NOTE:  Onion, Celery, Bell Pepper -Rough Cut half of each amount into
  inch square pieces, finer cut half of each into 1/4 inch pieces.
  
  Cube chicken into about 1 1/2 inch portions, set aside.
  
  Total cutting time approximately 1/2 hour.
  
  Mix spices and set aside.
  
  In large fry pan on medium high heat - dry singe rough cut onions a
  few minutes until there is some color around edges of onion pieces.
  Remove and put into crockpot.
  
  Place remaining raw vegetables into crockpot along with canned
  tomatoes tomato sauce, tabasco, and dry roux.
  
  In plastic bag, mix 1/2 tablespoon of seasoning mix into flour.  Add
  remaining seasoning mix onto chicken pieces and stir to coat chicken
  evenly with the spices.  Shake chicken in flour until well coated.
  
  LIGHTLY brown seasoned chicken pieces in fry pan over medium high heat
  ~ add more oil if necessary.  Remove meat and place in crockpot.
  Deglaze fry pan with V-8. Stir everything together.
  
  Cook on High for 2 1/2 hours OR until meat is cooked and veggies are
  done but not mushy.
  
  Tested this recipe 4/08 in 4 quart crockpot. Very good. If doubling
  recipie DO NOT DOUBLE SPICES - Increase by no more than 1/2.
  
  For this volumve of sauce chicken was done in 3 hours, but veggies
  were not done.  Took chicken out, added two cans of V8 - stirred
  well, cooked another 2 hours on High.  Next time cook sauce for 2
  hours, then add chicken and cook for 3 hours. (?) Took total of 5
  hours for vegetables - I think because amount of chicken to start off
  with.
  
  Ended up with 4 two people servings (1 large breast) with 2 cups of
  the sauce in each container to freeze.
  
  Also had 4 two cup containers of just sauce to freeze and use on its
  own. Great over rice with fried chicken or grilled chicken.
