Basque Chicken:
-4 chicken breasts
-8 strips of bacon, chopped (1x2 cm pieces)
-2 green peppers, chopped (2x3cm pieces)
-2 onions, finely chopped
-2 cloves garlic, crushed
-1/4 teaspoon marjoram
-2 tins chopped tomatoes
-150ml Chicken stock
-olive oil
Add a little oil to a large frying pan (one that you can cover). Fry the chicken breast on a medium heat. You don need to cook then, just seal them.
Remove the chicken and set aside. Add more oil and fry the chopped bacon on a medium heat until cooked.
Remove the bacon and set aside. Add more oil and fry the onion and garlic on a medium/low heat for a few minutes. Add the green peppers and marjoram. Fry until the onion becomes translucent.
Return the chicken and bacon to the pan, and mix with the onion, peppers etc.
Add the chopped tomatoes and stock. Add a salt and pepper to taste. Increase the heat until the liquid start to boil. Cover and reduce the heat to low (the liquid should continue bubbling). Cook for 50 minutes, stirring every 10 mins (more frequently near the end)
While this cooks, boil some rice in a saucepan (suggest American Long Grain) or use a crock pot (highly recommend getting one) and prepare a green salad (or green vegetables).
Serve and enjoy, ideally with a glass of red wine.
