Cook Time 45 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 6-8 pieces chicken pieces preferably drumsticks and thighs, excess skin removed
  • 2 tbsp Sofrito homemade or store bought
  • 4 carrots peeled and diced
  • 3 potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 8oz can tomato sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • Chicken stock or water, as needed.
  • Fresh cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken in a heavy pot.  Coat the chicken with sofrito.  Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 15 to 30 minutes (until no longer pink). 
  •  Add veggies and tomato sauce, cover and lower heat to cook at a low simmer for 12 to 15 minutes or until vegetables are fork tender.
  • The chicken will create its own broth, but you can add water or chicken stock to keep it moist and allow for more cooking time.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste and top with freshly chopped cilantro.  Refrigerate any leftovers.
