 * Instead of chicken broth you can use bouillon cubes dissolved in
 boiling water. Try to use low salt broth.

 Cut fryer into serving-sized pieces. Dust lightly with 1/4 cup
 flour. Use a 3-quart casserole for this dish. Place 1/4 cup melted
 margarine in casserole and add cut-up chicken. Roll chicken to coat
 with the margarine. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.

 Saute onion, celery and green peppers in 1/4 cup margarine until
 tender and onion is translucent and limp. Blend in 1 tablespoon
 flour, salt and pepper to taste. Place this mixture around chicken.
 Spoon topping over chicken. Have chicken broth boiling and pour
 over the topping slowly. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden
 brown. Sprinkle shredded cheese over topping for last 5 minutes of
 cooking time if desired.

 TOPPING: Combine flour, corn meal, baking powder, sugar, salt, sage,
 thyme and pepper in a mixing bowl. Cut in 1 tablespoon shortening.
 Add slightly beaten eggs and milk; blend well. Stir in sliced olives.
