Instructions

  1. Spice the chicken with the salt and pepper.  Heat a Dutch oven on medium high heat and add the oil.  Once warm, cook the chicken in batches to crust the exterior.  Set aside when complete.

    Add the onions and shallots to the Dutch oven and cook for 4 - 5 minutes.  Next add the tomato sauce and tomato paste.  Cook for 2 minutes - mix well.  Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.  Next, add the bay leaf, thyme and remaining spices.

    Move everything to a baking foil tray.  Begin with the tomato sauce mixture on the bottom of the pan.  Add the Olives with some liquid, and then, the pineapple. Finish by adding the chicken and the chopped red peppers.  Store in your fridge.

    On the day you are ready to serve, place the covered baking foil tray in a 225 degree oven for 90 minutes.

    Serve and enjoy!
