Recipe - Chicken Apritada

1 23 lb. chicken; in serving
pieces
1 Clove garlic; minced
One fourth cup Onions; chopped
1 cn (6 oz) tomato sauce
1 Bay leaf
1 One half teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Pepper
One fourth cup Water
2 md Potatoes; cubed
1 Jar; (4 oz) pimentos

Simmer chicken for about 15 minutes in garlic, onions, tomato sauce, bay
leaf, peppercorns, salt, pepper and water. Add cubed potatoes and pimento.
Continue to cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Serve with
steamed rice.

** I used 5 boneless chicken thighs and a one pint of whole chopped
tomatoes as that was all I had. Loved it. Original recipe calls for 1
tablespoon of peppercorns. We had to pick those out. If you wish it more
spicy, add more pepper or even a dash of hot sauce.
