Chicken and Potatoes With Tomato Sauce (Pollo Sudado)

Chef Sarita in Austin Texas's Note:

This recipe was handed down by my grandmother. This is a delicious, very inexpensive meal that can feed a large family on a budget. I buy whole cut up chicken. This cuts out the prep time by about 15 minutes.

• Total Time: 1 hrs
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 whole cut up broiler-fryer chicken
• 5 white medium sized potatoes
• ¼ cup chopped white onion
• ¼ cup chopped tomato
• ¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• water
• salt

Directions:

1. Take off the skin from the chicken, discard and place chicken in a plastic bowl.
2. Quarter the potatoes and also place in bowl with chicken. Add the chicken bullion and mix until all pieces are covered with bullion.
3. In a large cooking pot, add the oil and heat. When oil is heated, add the chopped onions, tomatoes and bell pepper. Saute for about 1 minutes or until translucent.
4. Add the chicken and potatoes to the pot and brown the chicken. About 7 to 10 minutes.
5. Add the tomato sauce and add enough water to cover the chicken. Add the cilantro. Add salt IF NEEDED.
6. Cover and cook for about 30 minute or until potatoes are cooked.
7. Serve with white rice.

This recipe reminded me of a good oldfashioned stew with chicken instead of beef. A very nice simple family meal. Made for PAC Fall 2009.
