Honduran Chicken

When I was a kid we had (and my mother still has) a cookbook Favorite Recipes From the United Nations, published by the United States Committee for the United Nations in 1951. There was a page for each country in the UN. This one was from the page for Honduras, so we called it Honduran Chicken. Below the recipe is handwritten

• 4 T olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cut-up chicken
• 2 tomatoes, peeled & diced (may be canned)
• 2 pimentos cut in strips, or 1 1/2 T pimentos
• 2 T capers Note! This recipe will be OK if you leave out the pimentos, but it MUST have its capers!
• 12 stuffed olives, cut in half
• 1/2 t salt
• 1/4 t ground black pepper
• 1/4 C tomato juice or liquid from canned tomatoes or water

Heat olive oil and brown chicken and garlic in it.

Add remaining ingredients and simmer until chicken is done, about 3/4 hour.
