Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 2 teaspoon adobo, all-purpose seasoning use Goya brand
  • 2 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • ½ cup sofrito
  • 8 oz tomato sauce
  • 1 packet sazón seasoning with annatto use Goya brand
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ cup manzanilla olives, pimiento-stuffed
  • 1 large potato 2-inch diced (about 1 cup)
  • 2 large carrots ¼-inch rounds (about 1 cup)
  • 3 cups chicken stock

Instructions
 

  • Dry the chicken thighs thoroughly with paper towels. Cut into 2-inch cubes. Season with Adobo.
  • Set a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the oil. Once it has warmed, add the chicken in one layer and brown.
  • Once the chicken has browned, remove it from the pot and set it aside. Add the onion to the pot, and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the sofrito and tomato sauce. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until it is thick and bubbly.
  • Add the sazón, bay leaves, oregano, olives, potatoes, carrots, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Add the chicken back into the pot. Lower the heat, cover the pot, and simmer for 40-50 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  • If you find your broth to be too watery you can make a cornstarch slurry. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water. Add it to the stew, then bring the stew to a boil for 1 minute while continuously stirring.
  • Take the stew off the heat, sample it, and add salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
