List of Ingredients




3 tsp olive oil
One 2 1/2- to 3-lb broiler-fryer chicken, cut in eighths, skin removed, visible fat cut off
2 bell peppers, sliced
10 oz mushrooms, cut in half
1 medium onion, sliced
2 tsp minced garlic
1 can (28 oz) peeled tomatoes in thick purée
1 orange, peel removed with vegetable peeler in strips
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp each pepper and dried thyme



Recipe



1. Heat 1 tsp oil in 5-qt Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken in batches and cook until browned. Remove to a plate.

2. Add remaining 2 tsp oil to pot along with peppers, mushrooms and onion. Sauté 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Push aside; add garlic and sauté until fragrant.

3. Add chicken, tomatoes, orange peel, salt, pepper and thyme. Carefully break up tomatoes with side of a spoon. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (see For Safety’s Sake, page 104) and easy to pull off the bone.
