INGREDNTS
-Chicken (legs and thighs)
– Seasonings (I use organic sazón and adobo seasoning)
-Oregano
-Ground black pepper
– Lime juice
-Sofrito –
-Vegetable oil – You can either work with pure vegetable oil or even olive oil.
-Brown sugar – This is an important ingredient in this recipe used to add color and flavor to the chicken.
-Bell peppers or Cubanelle peppers
-Tomato sauce – tomato paste can also work for this recipe.
-Cilantro – This ingredient is specifically used for garnishing and can do without if so preferred since the sofrito already contains the herb.
Instructions on How to Make Pollo Guisado?
First, season the chicken with adobo, ground black pepper, oregano, sazón, lime and about two tablespoons of sofrito in a large bowl.
Heat up some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Make sure to use a pan with a lid because you are going to cover it later.
Sprinkle a little bit of brown sugar in the pan and let the sugar brown slightly. When the sugar starts to turn brown, carefully, add the chicken. Saute the chicken until the meat is light brown.
Add water, cover and simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes. Stir and add water accordingly.
Add onion and bell pepper, cover and simmer until the vegetables are slightly cooked through.
Finally, add the tomato sauce and half a cup of water, simmer over low heat to produce a light sauce.
Add fresh cilantro and serve with white rice, beans stew, and maduros.
