Sweet and Sour Chicken Casserole

Yields: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped into large pieces
2 1/2 to 3 pounds chicken thighs and drumsticks
3/4 tsp kosher or sea salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 medium or large carrots, sliced
1 large red pepper cut into chunks
20 ounce can pineapple chunks in juice
4 cloves garlic
4 to 5 small white potatoes cut up
juice of 1/2 fresh orange
1 small can tomato sauce or diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chicken stock or water
more water or stock if needed
a handful of black olives, optional
2 tbsp fresh parsley for garnish

Directions:

Saute onion and garlic with olive oil.
After 2-3 minutes, add the meat that you previously seasoned with salt, pepper.
When the meat gets golden color, add finely chopped carrots, peppers and potatoes and add chicken stock. Simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. If using sausage, add now.
When the water has evaporated, add pineapple with juice, tomato sauce, orange juice, olives if using. Stir and cook another 10 minutes and sauce thickens a bit. Juices will run clear. Chicken should be cooked completely. Add parsley to garnish. I served over rice.

Enjoy the deliciousness!
