Ingredients
1 Medium sized fryer chicken
1 large onion sliced in rounds
1 large pepper (mild or hot depending on your taste)
Several cloves of garlic, minced
3/4 cups of tomato sauce
3 tablespoons sugar
Generous pinch of salt
Lime or lemon
Dash of oil
Directions
1. Wash chicken well and cut into pieces. Rub each piece with the lemon or lime and sprinkle with salt.
2. Heat oil in a heavy pan (cast iron is best, as the pan will then be placed in the oven).
3. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 F and fry the chicken pieces in hot oil.
4. While chicken is frying combine the garlic, sugar, tomato sauce and salt in a bowl. Mix well.
5. After a few minutes add the onion rounds and pepper rounds to the pan, stir well.
6. Within a few minutes the chicken should be well browned. Remove from heat, drain excess oil and add the tomato mixture. Stir well.
7. Place the entire pan in the oven and bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked completely.
8. Transfer cooked chicken to a platter and garnish with rounds of raw onion.
9. Tomato paste can be substituted for the sauce. Use 1/2 cup minus one tablespoon of paste. Add three tablespoons of water to the tomato mixture.
10. This dish goes well with diri blan (plain white rice) -- the sauce at the bottom of the pan can be poured on top of the rice.
Tastes similar to Chicken Catchitori! Yummy! All but one kid loved it and wanted seconds!
* In Kids Church we served the Chicken in sauce over plain white rice and minus the raw onion rounds.
