Iris normally uses poblano, big bell & hungarian pepper ~ she feels it's important to include peppers that have turned red to guarantee sweetness. However, she has used all kinds of sweet peppers & thinks they ALL taste great in this!
1 Chicken cut up washed/patted dry
1/4 C Flour
salt & pepper to taste
1/4 C olive oil
1 lrg onion chopped
1 whole head of crushed/peeled garlic
6 lrg peppers*
handful fresh oregano
1 or 2 Tbls paprika (optional)
Recipe
Mix flour, salt & pepper together in zipper bag or paper bag. Add chicken pieces a couple at a time and shake to coat well.
Heat olive oil in lrg fry pan & brown chicken evenly until golden, about 10-15 min's per side. When the chicken is well-browned, add one onion, garlic, peppers, oregano & paprika.
Cover, reduce heat to medium low & simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is moist & soft; and veggies are cooked down ~ about 1 & 1/2 hrs.
When chicken is done, remove to plate, leaving the sauce & peppers in the pan. If the sauce is too thin, increase the heat to high & cook until it thickens. Taste the sauce for saesoning, adding a little chicken bouillon if you like.
Serve over boiled rice or noodles or simply w/crusty loaf of sourdough bread.
