Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 22

6 to 8 large chicken pieces
6 medium red potatoes peeled and cut into quarters
1 large vidalia or white onion diced
4 clove fresh garlic smashed or put through garlic press
1 large sweet green pepper diced
1 small can tomato sauce
1/2 c good red table wine similar to merlot and a little more if needed
1/4 c black raisens
2 Tbsp diced fresh cilantro
3 Tbsp capers
15 small stuffed green olives with red pimentos
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar or wine vinegar
1 small packet goya sazon seasoning with achiote and culantro
3/4 c olive oil, light
1 tsp garlic powder,
2 Tbsp salt or sea salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp cumin powder
2 tsp adobo powder goya brand or similar
1 tsp spanish or good hungarian paprika
1 c water

Steps:

  • 1. In a blender pour 1/4 cup wine 2 cloves garlic 1 tsp salt blend pour the marinade over your seasoned chicken. Chicken pieces should have been seasoned prior liberly with the adobo powder, salt, black pepper, paprika. Regrigerate in a freezer bag for at least two hours or better overnight. Mush bag and turn over a few times so this marinade can well penetrate the chicken.
  • 2. Choose a heavy large pot that has a good lid. Take out chicken and let come to room temperature. Heat 1/2 cup oil and begin to brown your chicken pieces on all sides. I like to leave the skin on The chicken it imparts a great flavor to your poultry dishes. You may remove skin later and discard if you like. Chicken does not need to cook throughly just brown on the outside. This should take about 10/12 minutes. When done browning remove to a seperate pan. Do not put on paper towels.
  • 3. Over a medium flame in the same pot add the remaining 1/4 cup oil and add all the diced vegetables, onion, remaining garlic, green pepper, cilantro and saute until onion and pepper are somewhat limp. Next add olives, raisens, capers, remaining wine, and vinegar. Stir well and continue to saute for about 1/2 minute. next add tomato sauce, and dry seasonings, garlic powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, cumin powder, adobo, packet of Sazon seasoning and paprika. Stir well and add the cup of water. Stir again and adjust salt & pepper to your liking. Cover this sauce and reduce heat to a very low simmer. while sauce simmers peel and quarter potaotes.
  • 4. After simmering your sauce for 5 minutes, add your chicken pieces one at a time taking care to cover each piece with the sauce. Next add your potaotes and stir again spooning the sauce over all the potatoes If you like you may sprinkle a little more wine over the mixture about a 1/4 cup. I do this some times to add extra flavor. Cover and on a medium low flame cook for about 1 hour. After 30 minutes of cooking uncover and check to see if your fricasee has not begin to dry out also test your potaoes they are done when fork penetrates them easly. At this time you may adjust your heat to a little higher if need be. If you like you may add a little more water 1/4 cup and stir very gently. Cover and continue to cook until done. Traditionaly served on top of white rice you may do so or serve with crusty bread and a salad. Enjoy.

FRICASé DE POLLO



Fricasé de Pollo image

The chicken and potatoes in this Cuban stew become fall-apart tender from simmering in a tomato sauce studded with salty, briny green olives. Some versions of this dish call for marinating the chicken in the juice of naranja agria or sour oranges before cooking. In my take, I add orange and lime juices right into the sauce to cut back on time and to flavor the tomato broth.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks, patted completely dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium yellow onion, medium diced
1 green bell pepper, medium diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 packet (1 1/2 teaspoons) Sazón seasoning mix with saffron
1/4 cup vino seco (see Cook's Note) or sherry cooking wine
One 8-ounce can tomato sauce
2 limes, juiced (about 1/4 cup)
1 navel orange, juiced (about 1/4 cup)
1/3 cup pimiento-stuffed olives
2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 bay leaf
Cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken on both sides with 2 teaspoons salt and a few cracks of pepper. Add the chicken skin-side down and cook in two batches until golden brown and crispy and the skin releases easily from the skillet, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip the chicken over and cook 3 minutes. Remove to a plate, leaving the fat in the pot.
  • Add the onion, bell pepper, 1 teaspoon salt and a few cracks of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden, until the onions soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and Sazón seasoning and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the vino seco and scrape up any browned bits with the wooden spoon to deglaze the pot.
  • Stir in the tomato sauce, lime and orange juices, olives, potatoes and bay leaf. Nestle the chicken in the liquid and bring to a boil, 1 to 2 minutes. Cover the pan and simmer over low heat until the chicken is almost covered with the liquid, 15 minutes. Stir, pushing the chicken further into the liquid and simmer another 15 minutes. Remove the lid and cook uncovered until the liquid has reduced slightly and the potatoes are fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Discard the bay leaf and serve over white rice if desired.

POLLO EN FRICASé



Pollo en Fricasé image

The ultimate comfort food, this dish bears the mark of Spanish and French colonial influence, but takes a decidedly Puerto Rican approach. Bone-in chicken thighs are braised to perfection in a rich, oniony, tomato-based sauce with a lot of garlic, balanced with white wine and vinegar, and punctuated by briny olives and capers. Potatoes are added toward the end, for a satisfying meal. Like so many Puerto Rican dishes, this one is highly adaptable. Some brown the chicken first, adding sofrito and other aromatics later. Folks often add carrots, or use beer or red wine instead of white. My take is pared down and incredibly simple, making it an easy weeknight meal that can be prepared while you're getting your house in order after work. This recipe is adapted from "Cocina Criolla," which has remained the island's best-known and most popular cookbook for more than 60 years.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 to 3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, skins removed
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
10 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 dried bay leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup pimento-stuffed olives
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
Cooked white rice, for serving
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry, then place in a lidded, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven.
  • In a medium bowl, combine tomato sauce, onion, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, paprika, cumin, bay leaves, salt and pepper; whisk together with a fork. Pour sauce over chicken.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour in white wine, then add olives, capers and potato slices, stirring well to incorporate. Bring back to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until potatoes are tender but not falling apart. If your sauce is thinner than you'd like, transfer chicken and potatoes to a serving bowl, then simmer sauce for 5 to 7 more minutes over medium-high until thickened.
  • Serve over white rice with plenty of sauce, and garnish with cilantro.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the chicken from sticking.
  • Brown the chicken before cooking: This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Add a flavorful liquid: This could be chicken broth, white wine, or even beer.
  • Season the dish well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Simmer the dish until the chicken is cooked through: This will usually take about 30 minutes.
  • Serve the dish over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Fricassee de pollo is a classic Spanish dish that is easy to make and delicious to eat. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it can be served with a variety of sides. With its tender chicken, flavorful sauce, and colorful vegetables, fricassee de pollo is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
