Time 1h5m

Yield 6 - 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 frying chickens, cut into serving pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup chopped sweet red pepper
Juice of 1 lemon
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 bay leaf
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Lemon slices for garnish

Steps:

  • Dry chicken pieces thoroughly. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet or casserole and brown the chicken pieces a few at a time over high heat. Set chicken aside as it is browned.
  • Reduce heat and add the onions, garlic, green pepper and red pepper. Saute until tender but not brown. Stir in the lemon juice and wine.
  • Return the chicken to the pan, baste with the juices, add the bay leaf and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cover and allow to simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to a heated platter and cover to keep warm. Boil down the pan juices until reduced by about one-third, then whisk in the butter bit by bit to thicken the sauce. Taste and reseason if necessary.
  • Spoon the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with parsley and garnish with lemon slices.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices next time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less honey next time.
