Chicken and Potatoes With Tomato Sauce (Pollo Sudado)

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.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 1  whole cut up broiler-fryer chicken
• 5  white medium sized potatoes
• 1⁄4 cup  chopped  white onion
• 1⁄4 cup chopped tomato
• 1⁄4 cup  chopped green bell pepper
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 2  tablespoons  chopped cilantro

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.
