Title: Fricassee Chicken
Categories: Frugal02
Yield: 4 servings

1 Chicken - (4 lbs); cut 8
-serving pieces
1 Juice of 1 lime
2 md Yellow onions; peeled and
-sliced
2 Tomatoes; red ripe, coarsely
-chopped
3 Garlic cloves; peeled and
-crushed
3 Scallions; chopped
1 1/2 ts Dried thyme; whole
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Freshly-ground black pepper
2 tb Peanut oil
1/2 c Water

Toss all the ingredients except the peanut oil and water in a large bowl
and marinate for 1/2 hour. Drain the chicken, reserving the marinade and
vegetables. Brown the chicken in a non-stick frying pan, using the oil. You
should probably do this in two batches. Place the chicken in a 6- to
8-quart stove-top casserole and add the reserved marinade, including the
vegetables, plus 1/2 cup of water. Cover and simmer 1 hour. Add more salt
and pepper to taste. This recipe serves 4.

Comments: This is another classic from the Island. It is served in Jamaica
and in Brooklyn with the same degree of pride. It is not overspicy, but the
flavor is rich.
