Mom can cook the following w/ her eyes closed. I ate this dish 100's of times because mom made it and I had no choice. But mom made it because it's easy and cheap. I grew up on chicken, especially chicken thighs. I'm going to post here and in Anthony's kitchen. But here we go,
Chicken fricasee
Ingredients needed
One family pack of chicken thighs
1- lg. green pepper
2-14 oz cans of Italian Style Diced tomatoes
1 tsp. of fresh oregano
1 tbs. of garlic powder
1 pinch of cumin
2 lg. onions
1/2-3/4 cp. of Spanish style stuffed cut olives (w/ pimiento)
1/2 cp. of Sherry wine
2 tbs. of capers (comes in a small 3-5 oz jar. Can use about a 1/3 and include juice from jar too)
canola oil
rice
Optional:
1 Lg. red pepper
1 jar of pimientos (either can be used to decorate final dish after being sautéed)
Cooking-
Rice
Start to cook enough rice for 4-6 servings. Chicken Start by browning thighs in skillet w/ med. heat. Flip occasionally.
In separate pan
Saute sliced Onions and peppers and garlic.
In a medium to large pot
place the rest of the ingredients.
After chicken is brown and Onions and Peppers, Garlic (O/P/G) are sautéed (to taste or desired texture), place chicken (may have to drain) and O/P/G in pot
and let simmer for 1.5 hrs.
The longer you let simmer, the softer the chicken will get, and it will melt off the bone when eating.
The amount of ingredients above can be added or subtracted, according to taste and preference.
The above is usually served over a bed of rice.Everyone in the family has a rice cooker and they are super easy to use. I usually eat the above w/ saltines
and I add either crushed red pepper or Tabasco Sauce to my dish. But I'm the only one in the family that does that.
Enjoy.

While the trick w/ some food is the "marinating" part, this one is the "simmering" part.
