BRAISED CHICKEN WITH RED WINE AND VEGETABLES

SERVES 4-6

Very good and very easy

INGREDIENTS

1 chicken, cut into serving pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil (approximate)

4 medium potatoes, cut into 1-1/2 inch cubes

2 medium onions, cut into medium wedges

1 medium green pepper, cut into large cubes

1/2-pound mushrooms

3 small carrots, peeled and cut into 1-1/2 inch slices

6-8 large cloves garlic, peeled

1/4-cup dry red wine

Water to keep moist

Salt and pepper to taste

Rosemary, thyme and/or sage (optional)

Add oil to heated pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken brown on each side, approximately 5 minutes per side. Add vegetables, salt and pepper. Add wine, water and optional seasonings. Bring to boil then lower heat to maintain a simmer. Cover and cook until chicken is done and potatoes are tender, about 1 hour. Check occasionally for adding water if necessary. Pot should dry out to allow additional browning before adding moisture. Serve immediately.
