Pastor Barry'S Favorite Chicken And Yellow Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cut-up fryer
1 medium onion, chopped
3 to 4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 envelope Vigo flavoring
4 oz. Wesson oil
1 Tbsp. salt
1 large fresh tomato, chopped
1/2 large green pepper
1 lb. white rice (rinse in cold water and drain in colander)
1 qt. water
sliced pimento and green peas (optional)

Preparation

In 2 ounces oil, fry chicken until slightly brown; set aside. Saute onion, garlic and pepper in remaining 2 ounces oil in large Dutch oven.
Add chopped tomato and simmer until soft.
Add water, Vigo flavoring, bay leaf and salt.
Stir well; bring to a boil. Add chicken and simmer until the chicken is tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
(You may want to take the chicken off the bone and return to pot.) Bring back to a boil; add rice and simmer (without lifting lid) for 25 to 30 minutes or until done.
