Chicken Baked in Tomato Sauce

A very simple recipe from the October 1943 edition of Better Homes and Gardens Magazine. Im afraid mine didnt turn out looking quite the same as the original illustration. possibly as there was too many tomatoes for the amount of chicken I used

But.. the chicken was moist.. the rice was tender and it was very flavourful. We enjoyed it, and I will be making it again

1 5-pound chicken 

2½ cup uncooked rice 

3 cloves garlic, chopped 

1 cup chopped onion 

2 tablespoons fat 

1 quart canned tomatoes 

2 to 3 tablespoons chili powder 

1 teaspoon marjoram 

2 teaspoons salt
