Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    6 Chicken Breast tenders
    Tablespoon Lime Juice
    Tablespoon Lemon juice
    Salt & Pepper to taste
    Tomatoes, 1 cup, chopped
    3 cups Chicken Broth or Bouillon
    1 tbsp canned Capers
    3/4 cup Peas
    15 Spanish Olives w/pimento
    1.5 cup, chopped Onions
    Garlic, 8 cloves
    3.5 tbsp Olive Oil
    1/2 tsp ground Oregano
    1 cup white Rice

Directions

Toss chicken pieces with lemon & lime juices and salt & pepper. Marinate at least 1 hour or overnight.

Pat chicken pieces dry, and sauté in small batches in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat to brown. Remove pieces to a platter and reserve.

Add a little more oil to the pot, and sauté the onion, pepper and garlic till clarified but not brown.

Stir in the rice and sauté 1-2 minutes. Add rest of ingredients and stir well. Add the chicken pieces back in. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover pot and simmer on low heat 30 minutes.

Remove from heat and let rest, covered, 10 minutes. Add cilantro, toss all ingredients gently with a fork and serve.

VARIATIONS
Substitute a little beer or white wine for some of the stock or water if you like.

Use achiote oil instead of olive oil for a more authentically Caribbean dish. This gives the dish a yellowish hue.

    For P-Rican we boil the chicken in seasoned water, the rice is then added and cooked in the chicken water. ;-) - 5/1/08

    This is a great dish! In Panama, we shred the chicken and use tomato sauce to flavor the rice and give it some color. - 1/6/08
