| 3 | lb. whole chicken pieces bone in |
| 1 | can tomatoes (32 oz), peeled |
| 1 | cup frozen peas |
| 2 | cloves garlic |

| 1 | cup ripe olives |
| 2 | Tbsp. vegetable oil |

1. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Cook chicken in oil in large skillet over medium heat about 7 minutes on each side.
2. Remove from skillet; drain off all but 1 tablespoon of the drippings.
3. Add rice, onion and garlic to skillet. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until rice is lightly browned and onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
4. Strain whole peeled tomatoes from can. Reserve juice and add enough water to make 2-1/2 cups of liquid. Add juice to skillet and bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to simmer and cook 15 minutes. Add peas and continue to simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 5 to 10 minutes more.
5. Coarsely chop tomatoes and stir into skillet with cayenne pepper and green olives. Add chicken pieces and let stand 5 minutes more to allow flavors to blend and warm chicken.
