CHICKEN WITH OLIVES IN SOUR CREAM SAUCE

2 Chicken leg quarters
2 Tbsps Fish sauce
Black pepper, freshly ground
1 Tbsp Olive oil
4 Cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 White onion, chopped
2 Tbsps Green olives, pitted
1 Salad Tomato, chopped
2 Tbsps Roasted Green Bell Pepper, chopped
2 Tbsps Sour Cream

Cut the chicken leg quarters into 2 segments. Score the chicken, then marinate in fish sauce and black pepper for 5 minutes.

Saute garlic and onions in olive oil until transluscent. Add the chicken pieces with the marinate. Wait until brown, then add the tomatoes,olives and the green bell pepper. After a few minutes, add some water and let the chicken and the vegetables stew. 

When the chicken is almost cooked, add the sour cream and let the chicken thoroughly cook and sauce thicken.

I served this to the kids with mashed potatoes and a salad. :-) (And i forgot to take a photo! But the kids loved it!)
