Categories     Chicken &     Poultry

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons oil
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
6 cloves garlic ((finely chopped))
1 onion ((diced))
2 stalks celery ((diced))
4 medium carrots ((diced))
1 green bell pepper ((diced))
2 medium potatoes ((diced))
1 packet of Goya Sazon con culantro y achiote seasoning
2 bay leaves
½ cup Spanish green olives ((whole or roughly chopped))
14 ounces canned whole peeled tomatoes
1 14- ounce can pink beans
2 cups water
Salt to taste ((we added an additional ½ teaspoon))
3 cups uncooked white rice ((steamed and thoroughly mixed with ¼ cup of olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ cup chopped parsley))

Steps:

  • First, heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Spread 2 tablespoons of oil evenly across the cooking surface, and brown the chicken thighs on both sides. Set the browned chicken aside on a plate.
  • Add the garlic and onion to the skillet. Cook for a minute or so, and then add the celery, carrots, bell pepper, and potato. Cook for a few minutes until the carrots begin to soften. Add the seasoning packet and stir to combine.
  • Add 2 bay leaves, ½ cup of Spanish green olives, chopped or whole (we like whole, but sometimes chopped adds more of a delightful relish effect to the sauce), and the entire contents of the 14-ounce can of whole (use a spatula to break them up into chunks) peeled tomatoes and the 14-ounce can of pink beans (the starch from the beans helps thicken the sauce).
  • Add the chicken to the pot with the vegetables along with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover, and turn the heat down to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Then uncover and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes on medium high heat to reduce the sauce.
  • Serve with white rice mixed with ¼ cup of olive oil, a sprinkling of 1 teaspoon of salt (or to taste), and ¼ cup chopped parsley. This stew goes great with a little hot sauce on the side--Crystal (our favorite) or Tabasco are both great options.

Categories     Main

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 bone-in chicken thighs
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb semi-cured chorizo, sliced into roughly 1/2-inch pieces (if you can't find semi cured, use fresh) (about 450g )
1 large yellow onion (thinly sliced)
2 red bell peppers (seeds removed and thinly sliced)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
4 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 bay leaves
1 cup dry sherry (or any other dry white wine)
2 cups chicken stock
2 cans of tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 cup green olives (pits removed (you can keep whole or cut into slices -- I prefer the latter!))

Steps:

  • Season the chicken thighs liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Place a large dutch oven (or heavy pan) over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, sear the chicken on all sides until brown (in batches if necessary), about 7-8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Return the dutch oven to medium-high heat and add the chorizo. Sear for about 2-3 minutes, until the chorizo is brown and releasing its fat to the pan. Add the onion and bell peppers and saute until softened and translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir frequently to avoid burning.
  • Next, add the garlic, thyme, paprika, cumin, and bay leaves. When aromatic (about a minute), add the dry wine and stir to remove anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
  • When the wine has reduced by half, add the chicken stock, tomatoes, and tomato paste to the pan. Stir to combine and then return the chicken to the pan.
  • Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cover the dutch oven and leave to cook for 50 minutes and until the chicken is cooked through.
  • If the sauce is still thin after this time, remove the chicken and increase the heat to medium-high so that the sauce can further reduce.
  • Add in the sliced olives, along with the chicken and chorizo (if you removed it). Make sure everything is heated through and serve with rice, potatoes, bread, or salad.

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs chicken breasts, cut into cubes
1 lb diced carrot
1 lb diced potato
1/2 cup white wine
2 diced tomatoes
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons turmeric
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
parsley, for garnishing

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for the best flavor. Bone-in chicken adds more flavor to the stew, and the skin helps to keep the chicken moist.
  • Sear the chicken thighs in a pan before adding them to the stew. This will help to brown the chicken and give it a crispy skin.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and peppers.
  • Use a good quality Spanish paprika. This will give the stew its characteristic smoky flavor.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • Serve the stew with rice or crusty bread.
