Chicken in pepper and tomato sauce recipe

בס"ד

A very simple-to-make and delicious recipe of red sauce chicken cooked on the stovetop with peppers, tomatoes, and other tasty ingredients.

I love cooking these kinds of dishes in a shallow pot. That way, each ingredient has its place.

Also, since we're not adding much water, each ingredient must have its place in that delicious sauce.

I didn't use any oil in this recipe since the chicken has plenty of fat on its own, and it comes out excellent. You get quite a healthy chicken casserole.

This recipe was inspired by a recipe from the "Chicken Recipes" cookbook I bought in India. I made tons of changes to the recipe, but the inspiration came from that recipe.

Chicken with peppers and tomatoes casserole/recipe: Con Delight

I measured using universal cups and spoons

Ingredients:

chicken thighs or other parts of the chicken you love, rinsed

1 large red onion, cut into slices

2 small red bell peppers, rinsed and sliced to strips

1 garlic head, separated to cloves, peeled, and chopped

400 grams of finely chopped tomatoes in a can

1/2 cup water

Between 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of salt or according to flavor

A bit of black pepper, or according to flavor

2 teaspoons dry thyme (or parsley if you prefer)

Preparation:

1.Preheat the shallow pot a bit, without oil. Fry the chicken parts on each side for 3-4 minutes on high flame.

2.Take the chicken out of the pot and set it aside. Add the onion, peppers, and garlic to that same pot.

3.Lower the heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes.

4.Add the tomatoes, water, and spices and mix well—Cook for a minute.

5.Lower the heat to the lowest and return the chicken to the pot.

6.Pour the sauce on top of the chicken and close the lid—Cook for an hour. Every now and then, pour from the sauce on the chicken parts.

7.When the hour ends, take off the lid and let cook for extra 5 minutes to thicken the sauce a bit.

8.Then, pour from the sauce on the chicken parts and serve with white rice or any favorite side dish.
