Colombian Chicken Stew Recipe (Sudado de Pollo)

avocado oil

sazón

small diced large yellow onion (about 1 ½ cups)

green onions

red bell pepper

garlic

Roma tomatoes (about 1 ½ cups)

chicken stock

thyme

bay leaf

thickly sliced peeled Yukon potatoes

yucca

salt and pepper

cilantro

Pat the chicken dry on all sides with paper towels and transfer it to a large bowl.

Add 3 tablespoons of oil, 2 ½ tablespoons of the spice blend, and mix until combined. Cover and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes and up to 48 hours.

Add 3 tablespoons of oil into a large rondeau or saucepan and heat over medium heat for 2 minutes. Place the chicken skin side down into the pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until it’s browned, and the skin is crispy.

Set the chicken to the side on a plate and add the yellow and green onions to the pan and cook for 5 minutes while frequently stirring.

Once they get lightly browned, turn the heat down to low and cook for 10 minutes while occasionally stirring.

Next, stir in the peppers and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes over medium heat.

Add in the garlic and cook just until it’s fragrant, which takes about 30 to 45 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to pince.

Mix in the tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of the spice blend and cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until the tomatoes break down.

Pour in the chicken stock, season with salt, pepper, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, and lime juice.

Place the potatoes and yucca into the pan.

Put the seared chicken on top of the potatoes and yucca, cover, and cook over low to medium heat for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the root vegetables are tender.

Serve the Colombian chicken stew with cooked rice and optional garnish of cilantro.

Made this tonight and followed it explicitly with the exception of the yucca - tough to find in our small town in February. But the dish is fantastic and a keeper. Marinated chicken for about 36 hours. Used homemade chicken stock. Served over brown rice with chopped cilantro. (And a nice Tempranillo.) Served with a bottle of Cholula on the table - when is that ever a bad idea? The squeeze of lime is a good idea. I'm expecting the leftovers to be even better in a day or two.  Delicious, as always. Thanks Billy.

This was absolutely delicious. The combination of flavors were unbelievable. I substituted sweet potatoes for the yucca, otherwise followed the recipe. I can't wait to make it again, especially when we have guests. This is a WINNER.

Can I use gluten free flour or something else. Have a celiac at home
