Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Yuca

    Peel the yuca (cassava) and cut it into 1-inch pieces. Rinse under cold water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Clean the chicken pieces and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and black pepper.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

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

  2. 4

    Brown the Chicken

    Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the pot and brown on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, cumin, paprika, and bay leaf. Cook for an additional 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  4. 6

    Add Yuca and Broth

    Add the prepared yuca pieces to the pot, then pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

  5. 7

    Simmer

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

  6. 8

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaf and serve the Yuca Sudada hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
