Cabbage with Chicken

(Kapuska)

1/2 head of cabbage, cut in medium-size chunks
4 pieces of chicken, dark or white
3 tbsp rice, washed and drained
1 red bell pepper, discard the seeds, cut in medium-size chunks
2 tbsp butter
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp red pepper paste
4-5 tbsp canned crushed tomatoes
1 tsp red pepper, crushed
Juice of half lemon
Salt
Pepper
1 or 1 1/2 cup hot water

Place the cabbage in a large pot. Add the chicken pieces along with the rest of the ingredients. Cover and cook for about half an hour at medium heat. Check the water towards the end to see if more is needed. Don't put too much water in the beginning as the cabbage will leave water during cooking.

Makes 4 servings.
