Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine the sour orange juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a large container or bowl.
  2. Add the skinned chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  3. Remove the chicken from the marinade and blot dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade liquid.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.
  5. Brown the chicken pieces in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Once browned, return all chicken to the pot.
  6. Add the chopped onions and green bell pepper to the pot. Sauté with the chicken until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.
  7. Pour in the reserved marinade, tomato sauce, dry white wine, capers, stuffed green olives, raisins, and cubed potatoes.
  8. Stir to combine all ingredients. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 30 minutes until chicken is tender.
  9. Transfer the chicken to a large serving dish and spoon the sauce and vegetables over it.
