Same basic recipe my grandmother made except she added I sliced green pepper and a drained can of whole peeled tomatoes to the chicken as it simmered.

Simple recipe, straight forward, authentic and excellent.

Add diced carrots. If halving the recipe, use slightly more than half the liquid.

Very good. Made with boneless skinless thighs. So easy. Threw in a can of mushrooms and a tablespoon of tomato paste.

Everyone loved it but not much flavor. Meh.
