2 1/2-3 lbs. cut up chicken parts
1/4 c. cooking oil
1/4 c. chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 c. green pepper, chopped
1/2 c. diced celery
1 c. uncooked rice
1 (1 lb.) can stewed tomatoes
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. hot water

Brown chicken in oil; remove from pan. Add onion and garlic and cook until tender but not brown. Stir in green pepper, celery, and rice. When rice is coated with fat, return chicken to skillet. Add tomatoes, water, and seasoning. Simmer, covered, until rice and chicken are done. 1 cup diced ham may be added. Electric fry pan works well.
