Ingredients

• 1 cup Olive Oil
• 2 White onions, finely chopped
• 1 whole Chicken, divided (or thighs or breasts)
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp pepper
• 1 can Tomato Juice
• ½ cup red wine vinegar
• 4 cups mushrooms, chopped
• 6-8 peppers, chopped

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Add the oil to an extra-large pot.

• While it’s cooking, chop the mushrooms and peppers.
• Add the salt, sugar, pepper, tomato juice, and red wine vinegar.
• Crush the whole tomatoes by hand or by using a pastry cutter. This is better than buying “crushed tomatoes” as the flesh of the tomatoes really make the dish better!
• Stir continuously to combine, then add the mushrooms and peppers.
• Cover and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
• Transfer to a large baking dish and put it in the oven for 40 minutes.
