Recipe



" My wife, who is of Italian descent, whips up the best chicken I have ever tasted. She cooks by `feel', but I watched her concoct this dish. This is what she used and how she did it." Jerry Lewis.

Brown the chicken in a heavy skillet. Remove and place in a large baking dish. Combine the tomatoes, onions, green peppers, whole and minced garlic, bay leaves, oregano, salt and pepper and simmer for 5 minutes.
Pour over the chicken. Brown the rice in oil. Add to the chicken and cover with water. Cover lightly with foil and bake at 350~ for 1 & 1/2 hours or until chicken is tender. Remove from oven and add pimentos, peas, and olives. Bake uncovered for 5 minutes more.
Remove bay leaves and whole garlic cloves before serving.

Serves 4.
