Continental Chicken

Chicken pieces with a light flour coating, simmered with mushroom and tomato juices and cooked with onion, garlic, soy sauce and olives. A bit of Europe, a tad of Asia and a dollop of the Middle East. That’s Continental Chicken! Serve over a bed of hot cooked rice, if desired.
Ingredients
  • 1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 1 (16 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1/4 cup pitted black olives

Directions
  • Dredge chicken pieces in flour until well coated. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and brown coated chicken pieces slowly in hot oil.
  • Meanwhile, combine reserved mushroom liquid with the tomatoes, soy sauce and garlic in a large saucepan and stir together. Add browned chicken and onion and stir together; cover saucepan and simmer over low heat for 45 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and tender.
  • Stir in mushrooms and olives and bring all to a boil; serve hot, coating with additional soy sauce if desired.
