Puerto Rican Pollo Guisado Recipe - Spanish Chicken Stew

Step 1

Season the chicken with adobo, garlic powder, cumin and oregano. Marinate it for 2 hours or overnight (depending on your timeframe).

Step 2

In a big pot, heat 1/4 cup of oil on medium-high heat. Place the seasoned chicken skin-side down and brown for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. The chicken will still be raw on the inside.

Step 3

Add 5 tablespoons of sofrito to the browned chicken and cook for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the tomato sauce, olives, cilantro sprigs, and Sazón Knorr package, and bring to a boil.

Step 5

Add the carrots and enough water to cover the chicken. Cover with lid and cook on medium-high heat for 10 minutes.

Step 6

After 10 minutes, add salt to taste and add the potatoes. Cook uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes to thicken the sauce. Enjoy!
