How to make it
- The day before serving:
- Combine juices, lemon slices, parsley, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper and cumin in 5-quart casserole. Place chicken in marinade and allow to marinate overnight.
- Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry, reserving the marinade. In a 6-quart stockpot on medium high heat, add 2 tablespoons oil and heat until just smoking. Place half the chicken in the hot oil carefully with tongs. Allow to brown before turning. Brown on all sides, remove from pan and repeat with remaining chicken pieces. Remove second batch of chicken from pan. Pour off oil. In same pan, add remaining 2 tablespoons oil and add onion slices and green peppers. Allow the onions to brown and peppers to cook through. Stir in marinade, capers and olives. Bring to a boil and add browned chicken. Reduce to a gentle simmer and cover. Cook for 40 minutes, or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. When chicken is tender, arrange it over the black beans and rice and spoon sauce over the chicken
