Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds chicken ((legs and thighs))
¾ teaspoon adobo
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
1 pack sazón
1 tablespoon lime juice, (freshly squeezed)
2 tablespoons sofrito
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 cup of water
1 small red onion, (chopped into fine strips)
½ green bell pepper, (cut into thin slices)
½ red bell pepper, (cut into thin slices)
½ cup tomato sauce
1 tablespoon cilantro, (roughly chopped)

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with adobo, ground black pepper, oregano, sazón, lime juice and about two tablespoons of sofrito.
  • Heat up vegetable oil in a large saute pan. Make sure to use a pan with a lid because you are going to cover it later.

  • Add 1/4 cup of water. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring and adding a bit of water as it becomes necessary.
  • Add onion, and pepper, cover and simmer until the vegetables are slightly cooked through.
  • Then, add the tomato sauce and half a cup of water, simmer over low heat to produce a light sauce. Add fresh cilantro.
  • Serve with a side of white rice, beans stew and maduros.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound) whole chicken, skin removed and cut into pieces
¼ cup rancho adobo sazon criollo, or to taste
1 red onion, chopped into large pieces
2 Cubanelle peppers, chopped
¼ cup sazon liquido
1 tablespoon garlic paste
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
⅓ cup tomato paste
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Place chicken pieces in a bowl and season generously with ranchero sazon criollo. Add onion, Cubanelle peppers, sazon liquido, and garlic paste. Toss to coat chicken evenly.

Carefully add chicken pieces to the pot 1 at a time, reserving vegetables and any liquid left in the bowl. Stir chicken, coating each piece with sugar-oil mixture. Cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add tomato paste, celery, and bouillon powder to the pot and stir to combine. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Let stew until chicken is cooked and tender, 15 to 30 minutes.

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 medium limes)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/4 lbs boneless chicken breasts, strips
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
vegetable oil, about 1 to 1/2 cups (for frying)

Steps:

  • Combine marinade ingredients in a plastic zipper bag.
  • Add chicken strips and marinate in refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
  • Combine flour, paprika, pepper and salt in another zipper bag.
  • Transfer chicken strips to flour mixture, coating evenly.
  • Heat oil over medium-high heat and fry chicken in batches of 4 strips (don't overcrowd; oil will cool down too much during cooking), taking about 4 minutes per side to brown outside and thoroughly cook insides.
  • When done, transfer chicken strips to a plate lined with paper towels, and lightly sprinkle with salt.
  • Cook remaining batches of strips, keeping others warm in a low-temp oven.
