Peasant Chicken image

This recipe was the result of a few ingredients I had but no idea what I was going to do with them. It came together with some memories of a greek chicken dish I had been served way back when I was in high school. I added a few things and it became a hit on a cold Sunday afternoon.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 can(s) 28 ounces canned tomatoes
1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
8 links sweet italian sausage
2 fresh green peppers
2 fresh red peppers
2 russet potatoes
6 fresh cloves of garlic
2/3 c uncooked rice
2 tsp ground cinnamon
salt and pepper
2 tbs fresh lemon juice
1 large onion

Steps:

  • 1. Quarter potatoes, onions, red and green peppers into large chunks. Place in the bottom of a large roaster pan.
  • 2. Add sausage links and 3 chopped garlic cloves.
  • 3. Pour canned tomatoes over all and add lemon juice, salt and pepper and cinnamon.
  • 4. Place chicken pieces on top and add remaining garlic on top of chicken.
  • 5. Place in 375 preheated degree oven and cook 45 minutes.
  • 6. The chicken on the top should be starting to brown a little and the juices increasing. Now pour in the rice and stir it into the bottom so that it begins to soak up the juices.
  • 7. Cook about 40 minutes more. Serve in bowls with some pieces of everything and offer crusty bread to dip into liquid in bowl. Enjoy.
