about two inches over all; cover and let heat very slowly; stew until
meat can be picked from the bones. When the liquor the chicken is cooked

fair sized potatoes; one large onion; two large green peppers; one clove
of garlic; one can of mushrooms; one can tomatoes; one can of peas; one
bottle of little stuffed olives. Remove meat from chicken bones, then
put in tomatoes, potatoes, peas, etc., in the liquor. Cut each mushroom
through and add one wineglass each of olive oil and good white wine;
three fair sized bay leaves; a large pinch of thyme; a few sprigs of
parsley; salt; celery salt; black pepper and tobasco sauce to taste.
When potatoes are done, add one large tablespoonful butter, put in the
chicken meat and the stew is ready to serve. Have plenty of toast to
serve chicken on. This will serve sixteen people and may be made the day
before.
