I am a fan of tomato based sauces and chicken, so what better than putting it together and over fluffy white rice.
I used:
3 lbs. chicken legs
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1 onion, chopped
1 26 oz can whole tomatoes with juice
2 T tomato paste
1 cup of hot chicken stock
2 chopped garlic cloves
1 t sugar
1 t Cajun seasoning
salt & pepper to taste
1 t Louisiana hot sauce to taste
2 cups rice, cooked
I first seared the chicken legs and removed them from the pot. I then sauteed the celery, onion, and bell pepper until soft.
I added the chicken broth, tomato paste and tomatoes to the pot, gave a stir and then added the sugar, Cajun seasoning,hot sauce, and salt and pepper. I brought it to a simmer and added the chicken to finish cooking on a very low heat for 3 hours, until it fell off the bone.
Once done, I slapped some rice in a bowl and told the family, eat up or shut up.
