1
Dust Chicken with the flour - I use a plastic bag to shake my chicken in - shake off excess flour and place to one side.
2
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a skillet or frying pan and sear the chicken pieces, this will take a couple of goes, and place in a casserole dish.
3
Saute the onions and garlic in the remainder of the oil gently until it looks at least half cooked.
4
Add the celery, tomatoes, capsicum stirring for a few minutes then put the fajita mix (half is usually 2 ounces - as too much makes it too hot) in with pepper and salt adding the chicken stock.
5
Simmer for just a minute or two and spoon over the chicken,
6
Cook in a moderate oven for about 1 1/2 hours, or in the microwave on simmer for 45 minutes - thicken before serving with the corn flour mixed with a little water into a thin paste.
7
Serve either with hot vegetables or on a bed of rice.
