Pollo En Fricasé Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Wash the chicken and pat dry; place into a large bowl. Season with adobo seasoning, sazon seasoning, and salt. Place the legs into a slow cooker, and cover with the potato slices.
• Puree the red pepper, green pepper, onion, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, wine, cumin, and oregano in a blender. Pour over the chicken and add the bay leaves.
• Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, until the chicken is easily removed from the bone.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat. Stir in red bell pepper and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until golden.
• Dissolve tomato paste in 1 cup water and pour it into the pressure cooker. Place chicken thighs and drumsticks in the pan so the pieces are evenly spaced. Add enough water so that the chicken is nearly covered.
• Seal the pressure cooker and bring up to pressure over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, maintaining full pressure; cook for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to drop naturally, about 20 minutes. Season chicken with salt to taste.

Steps:

• Marinade chicken pieces in garlic cloves, citrus juice, onion and bell pepper for at least one hour.
• Heat oil and brown chicken.
• Add onion, pepper and citrus from the marinade.
• Add tomato sauce, raisins, olives, capers, Sherry, salt & pepper.
• Add water to cover the chicken.
• Add the potato pieces in the last 20 minutes of cooking.
• Wonderful over fluffy or steamed white rice.

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.

Steps:

• Cut the bacon and ham into pieces and fry in a large cooking pot. Add the oregano, garlic, green bell pepper, red bell peppers, cilantro, onion and fry these on low for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Wash the chicken, dry it and fry in same pot on medium until golden brown. Add the olives, bay leaves, salt, capers, vinegar, raisins, tomato sauce, achiote oil, and potatoes. Stir, then add the peas and water and heat on high until boiling. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Add the butter and continue cooking uncovered until the sauce looks good. Add salt to taste.
