Chicken Sauce Piquante

Chicken Sauce Piquante

1 large hen, cut into serving pieces

1/2 cup oil

2 large onions, chopped

2 tablespoons minced garlic

1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste

2 tablespoons prepared roux

Salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste

1/2 cup white wine

1/2 cup chopped parsley

1/2 cup chopped green onion tops

In a large heavy pot, brown hen in oil over medium heat. Continue to cook, adding a little water from time to time to prevent sticking.  When brown, add onions and garlic and cook until transparent. Add tomato paste, roux, water, and seasonings; simmer over a low heat until hen is tender.  Fifteen minutes before serving, add wine, parsley, and green onion tops; serve over cooked rice in soup bowls.
