1 Heat a deep stove-top casserole and add the oil and chicken. Brown the pieces well and then remove to a platter. Leave the oil in the pan. Add to the pan the garlic, yellow onion, and green pepper. Saute until the onion is clear and then deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup water. Return the chicken to the pot and add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, cover the pot, and turn down to a simmer.
