Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 bacon slices, chopped
1 3 1/2-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 green bell peppers, seeded, sliced
2 cups coarsely chopped onions
6 large garlic cloves, minced
1 28-ounce can diced peeled tomatoes with juices
3/4 cup canned chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano or 2 teaspoons dried
2 bay leaves
Large pinch of cayenne pepper
1/4 cup drained capers

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to bowl. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Working in batches, add chicken to Dutch oven and brown on all sides, about 7 minutes. Transfer chicken to plate. Spoon off 2 tablespoons fat from Dutch oven and discard. Add peppers and onions to Dutch oven: sauté until onions are tender and golden, about 8 minutes. Add garlic; stir 1 minute. Add tomatoes with their juices, broth, oregano, bay leaves, cayenne and bacon; bring to boil.
  • Return chicken to Dutch oven. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Add capers. Transfer chicken to bowl. Boil sauce until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over chicken.

This recipe is a waste of time. The chicken was tough and the vegetables were mushy.

The instructions were unclear and I ended up overcooking the chicken. The dish was still edible, but it wasn't as good as it could have been.

This recipe was too bland for my taste. I had to add extra spices to make it more flavorful.

The chicken was a little dry, but the bell peppers and onions were delicious.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the bell peppers and onions were perfectly cooked. The capers added a nice briny flavor that really brought the dish together. I will definitely be making this again.
