CAZUELA- CHILEAN CHICKEN STEW
This is another variation of Cazuela, a simple chicken stew my bf remembers having when he lived in Chile for a couple years. We'll try it when it's soup weather. I found this on another website. The person who posted it there says it's from the Bountiful Harvest Cookbook.

CHILEAN CHICKEN
I needed a recipe for an ethnic dinner we were hosting for Chile. I ended up finding the main course on another web site. Everybody at the dinner thoroughly enjoyed it so I though I should share with everyone else in RecipeZaar. For my own tastes I cut back the honey abit & added a couple more spashes of hot sauce & worchestershire. I also used fresh herbs in place of some of the dried ones. Dish takes awhile to cook but I thought it was easy to make while I was preparing other dishes.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken cut into 8 pieces, or bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs. This will help the chicken stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of spices, herbs, and liquids helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat allows it to cook evenly without burning. Be sure to adjust the cooking time depending on the size and thickness of the chicken pieces.
- Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest before serving: After cooking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
Conclusion:
Chilean chicken is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can easily make Chilean chicken at home that is sure to impress your friends and family. Enjoy this classic Chilean dish with your loved ones!
