Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 chicken, cut up (skin on or off)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup uncooked rice
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 tbsp. white wine or your favorite vinegar
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup black olives, pitted and sliced in half
- Fresh or dried thyme to sprinkle over top
- Optional: kosher turkey or beef pepperoni, cut-up into bite-sized pieces
Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a large ovenproof casserole to medium high. Saute chicken pieces (plus kosher pepperoni, if desired) until golden brown on both sides - about
2 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
Add remaining oil and saute peppers, onions and garlic for about 2-3 minutes.
Turn down heat to medium and add rice, stirring until grains are coated with oil (about a minute or so). Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken stock and wine or vinegar.
Place chicken (and kosher pepperoni) back in the casserole. Make sure that pieces are at the bottom. Cover them with vegetables and try to keep rice away from the bottom of casserole to avoid sticking. Add raisins and olives.
You may add extra salt and pepper, if desired, and finish by sprinkling herbs over Spanish Chicken.
Cover casserole tightly and transfer to oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
Serves 4.
