Chicken + Corn Casserole

10 boneless skinless chicken pieces, (4 to 6 pounds),
...trimmed of fat
3 tablespoons poultry seasoning mix
...(see recipe link)
1/3 cup Olive oil
8 cups fresh corn, cut off cob,
...(about twelve 8 inch ears) in all
3 1/2 cups finely chopped onions
1 1/2 cups finely chopped green bell peppers
1 pound tomatoes, peeled, chopped
3 1/2 cups water
2 cups uncooked rice

Season chicken pieces with 2 tablespoons of poultry
seasoning mix, (see recipe link), and place in resealable
plastic bag. Refrigerate overnight.

Heat oil in an 8 quart roasting pan over high heat until
it just starts to smoke, about 6 minutes.
Add the 10 largest pieces of chicken (what had been skin
side, down first) and brown. Cook 5 minutes on each side.

Poultry Magic.
