Ingredients:  
2 to 3 pounds cut up chicken (can remove skin if desired)
1 cup mushrooms sliced or chopped
1 cup sweet onion chopped
1/2 cup green pepper chopped
1 clove garlic finely chopped
19 ounce tin of diced tomatoes
1/4 cup of sweet chilli sauce or fruit sauce
1/2 cup water
1 bay leaf
1 tsp. salt
pepper
1 cup long grain rice
1 tsp. white vinegar
1 cup frozen peas
fresh parsley chopped (optional)

Directions:
Directions:
In a large skillet or electric frying pan brown the chicken in the oil. Add garlic and sauté for a little while, being careful not to brown it. Add onion, green pepper, and mushrooms and saute for a couple minutes (do not completely cook). Add the remaining ingredients and combine. Cook slowly till the chicken is tender. If you prefer this can be done in a casserole in a 325 º F oven. Add peas when the casserole is nearly done and continue to cook until the peas are hot. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This is a fairly mild flavoured dish. Mom omitted the fresh garlic as she never cooked with it. If you prefer a spicier dish add some hot pepper flakes or hot sauce when cooking. Can use brown rice but it may take longer to cook and need a little extra liquid. Chicken breasts or thighs work well. I take the skin off.
