Transfer to a platter.
Add the onion, green pepper, garlic, and curry powder to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft about 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes, lemon juice, thyme, and black pepper.
Adjust the heat so that the mixture bubbles gently, then cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Return the legs, thighs, and back to the skillet, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes; add the breasts and cook for 10 minutes or until all the pieces are fork tender.
