This recipe was the result of a few ingredients I had but no idea what I was going to do with them. It came together with some memories of a greek chicken dish I had been served way back when I was in high school. I added a few things and it became a hit on a cold Sunday afternoon.

How To Make peasant chicken

  • Step 1
    Quarter potatoes, onions, red and green peppers into large chunks. Place in the bottom of a large roaster pan.
  • Step 2
    Add sausage links and 3 chopped garlic cloves.
  • Step 3
    Pour canned tomatoes over all and add lemon juice, salt and pepper and cinnamon.
  • Step 4
    Place chicken pieces on top and add remaining garlic on top of chicken.
  • Step 5
    Place in 375 preheated degree oven and cook 45 minutes.
  • Step 6
    The chicken on the top should be starting to brown a little and the juices increasing. Now pour in the rice and stir it into the bottom so that it begins to soak up the juices.
  • Step 7
    Cook about 40 minutes more. Serve in bowls with some pieces of everything and offer crusty bread to dip into liquid in bowl. Enjoy.
