Basque Chicken and Rice
2 T olive oil
3 lb chicken, cut up
3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1 yellow onion, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 green pepper, cored, seeded, and finely chopped
1/4 cup water
2 cups rice
4 cups chicken stock
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper
Heat a deep stove-top casserole and add the oil and chicken. Brown
pieces well and then remove to a platter. Leave the oil in the pan.
Add to the pan and garlic, yellow onion, and green pepper. Saute
until the onion is clear and then deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup
water. Return the chicken to the pot and add the remaining
ingredients. Bring to a boil, cover the pot, and turn down to a
simmer. Cook for 25 mins, or until rice is just tender.
