Ingredients

1 chicken, cut in quarters
2 limes, squeezed for marinade
1 large onion, cut up
1 large green pepper, cut up
6 garlic cloves
Salt, to taste
1 tsp. white vinegar
2 bay leaves
Cumin and oregano, to taste
1 cup red wine
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Marinate the chicken in the lime juice, salt, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, onions, and green pepper, for at least 1 hour.

In a stew pot, heat the olive oil and brown the chicken pieces (not fully cooked). Add the rest of the marinade, tomato sauce, wine, olives, potatoes, vinegar and about 1/4 cup of water.
