Mix well.Add olives and raisins, and let it simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes.Serve with white rice or fried plantains.
½cupGolden Cooking Wine (Edmundo Vino Dorado de Cocinar)
2 tbspGoya Sazon Liquido (see notes)(If you are not able to find then use 2 packets of Sazon Goya Con Culantro y Achiote) In this scenario I used the packets.
Instructions
Pour oil in a big pot and heat up on medium-low heat. Season chicken with garlic salt, sazon completa, onion powder, garlic powder, and coat chicken 1 tbsp of oil. After seasoning chicken add pieces to brown in the pot.
While browning chicken add onions, green peppers, garlic, bay leaf, and 1 tbsp of Goya Sazon Liquido or 1 packet of Sazon Goya Con Culantro y Achiote. Cook until chicken is brown.
After chicken is browned and not fully cooked, add tomato sauce, cooking wine, chicken broth, and the rest of the seasoning not used yet. Lower heat and cook on low for 1 hour.
Add sliced carrots and diced potatoes, cook for another 30 minutes. Chicken should be done after cooking for 30 minutes.
Notes
I have a large family so I used 12 pieces of chicken. You can half the recipe by only using 6 pieces of chicken instead of 12. Same for the ingredients, half everything. I like to slow cook the chicken, the longer you cook the chicken the better it will be. It will fall right off the bones.
This recipe is created to our taste because I have so many grown adult kids and grandkids in my house that do not like or want green olives, peas, capers, or carrots in their food.
