- 8 drumsticks you can substitute chicken breasts if you prefer
- 1 red pepper diced
- 1 onion diced
- 4 ripe tomatoes diced (or 2 cans of whole tomatoes, diced)
- 5 cloves of garlic minced
- ½ cup chicken stock
- Flour
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and lightly dust with flour
Heat a heavy skillet (cast iron or stainless steel is ideal) with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil
Sear the chicken on all sides until golden
Add the onion, garlic and pepper and sauté for about one minute
Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer
Simmer for 5 minutes, or until reduced by half
Add the diced tomatoes and bring to a simmer
Cover for 10 minutes (or until the chicken is fully cooked)
Remove the lid and let the sauce reduce over a very low simmer if it's still too thin
Take off the heat and let the dish sit for at least 30 minutes for best flavor (as with any stew, overnight is even better!)
Serve with rice or with your favorite potato dish
