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.
