Pollo Guisada Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same pot, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Tomatoes and Spices

   Stir in the diced tomatoes, cumin, oregano, and bay leaves. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.

4. 4

   Combine Ingredients

   Return the browned chicken to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.

5. 5

   Cook the Stew

   Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove bay leaves before serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot.
