Chicken With Peppers And Tomatoes

Recipe Ingredients

		** {Pollo A La Chilindron}
3		Very young chickens - cut serving size
1		Onion - chopped fine (large)
2		Garlic cloves - whole (large)
8 oz	227g	Canned tomatoes - (1 can)
6 oz	170g	Red peppers (large)
		(or a 14 ounce can of pimientos)
3 oz	85g	Cured ham - cut in short strips
2 tablespoons	30ml	Olive oil
		Salt and pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

If you use fresh peppers, put them to roast in a 350 degree oven. They should be tender in approximately 45 minutes (which is about when you will need them).

Cut chicken in serving-size pieces and fry in hot olive oil with peeled whole garlic cloves in a casserole. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper while frying.

When chicken is browned, add ham cut in short strips and onion, chopped fine. When onion is tender, add tomatoes and roasted, seeded peppers (or canned pimiento) cut in strips. Continue frying slowly until chicken is tender. The time will vary according to the tenderness of the meat: allow 40 to 60 minutes. Add a little water if the meat sticks to the pan, but bear in mind that this is more of a fried dish than a stew and should not be liquid when finished.
