Cooking Instructions

Sauté Vegetables

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

Brown the Chicken

Add the chicken pieces to the pot, seasoning them with salt and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides.

Add Vegetables

Stir in the sliced carrots, chopped bell pepper, and green peas. Cook for about 3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Incorporate Tomato Paste

Add the tomato paste and bay leaves, stirring well to combine all ingredients.

Add Chicken Broth

Pour in the chicken broth, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and cover. Let it cook for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Garnish and Serve

Once cooked, remove the bay leaves. Serve the fricase de pollo in bowls, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
