Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken
- salt to taste
- 1 onion diced
- 5 cloves garlic roughly chopped
- 2 bell peppers sliced
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Cut up chicken into 12-16 pieces and remove the skin and season the bone-in chicken pieces with salt.1 whole chicken, salt
- Now, heat olive oil on low in your dutch oven pot. Add onions and garlic and brown the chicken keeping the pot covered. Continue to turn the chicken pieces until they’re no longer pink, and the meat begins to pull away from the bone. This will take about 30 minutes.1 onion, 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 5 cloves garlic
- Stir in the peppers and cover and simmer for one more hour. Keep stirring every so often while the juices from your chicken combine with the oil to make a wonderful gravy. Serve and enjoy.2 bell peppers
Notes
- Cutting the chicken into 12 -16 pieces gives you smaller pieces of chicken that are sure to absorb the oil. No dry chicken here.
- If you would like potatoes with your chicken and peppers, when the chicken is done, take the chicken out of the pot and set the chicken aside in a bowl and cover it. Then peel and cut up four potatoes into eighths, season them with salt, add them to the pot and cook the potatoes in the gravy for about 20 minutes. Then toss your cooked chicken back into the pot, combine, and serve.
- If you tend to like dark meat as my family does, you could make this dish with only drumsticks and bone-in thighs.
- This is an excellent make-ahead dish. Like many braised chicken dishes, the flavors become even better after a day in the refrigerator. Simply reheat gently on the stovetop until warmed through.
- Leftovers will last up to 4 days in an airtight container in your refrigerator. If you want to freeze for a later time, let the chicken cool completely, then store it in a freezer-safe container for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Got extra sauce? Don't let it go to waste. It's delicious spooned over vegetables, mashed cauliflower, or gluten free bread.
