This is one of my favorite recipes to make for my family.  I love chicken too, my husband says we are going to turn into chicken.  When we do eat chicken it’s most likely inspired by hubby.  Between the two of us we eat almost all our meals at home, every once in while we eat out but not very often since paying off our debt.

Chicken Fricasse

What you need:  2 2lb chickens, 3 cloves garlic, 1 sour orange, 1 green pepper,  1 large onion, 1 can tomato sauce, 1/3 cup oil, 1/2 cup capers (I leave these out most of the times), 2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1 cup dry wine, 1 lb potatoes,

What to do:

Cut chicken into quarters, and cover with crushed garlic, sour orange juice and onion and green pepper rings.  Brown chicken quarters in hot oil, add the onion, green pepper and orange and then the tomato sauce, capers, wine, water, salt and pepper.  When this is half cooked, add the potatoes and finish cooking.  Just before serving, petit pois may be added if desired.   Serves 8

Serve this over white or brown rice  We make brown rice  98% of the time now, I still revert back to the white rice my mom and grandma used to make when I was growing up.

We make this and save the leftover for lunch the next day for my husband at work and for me and the kids at home.
