One of the popular Filipino chicken dishes is the Afritada, probably next to Tinola. It's a saucy chicken dish with vegetables, such as potatoes and onions. Onions are added last because we don't want them to be overly cooked. The mild sweetness of onions and green peas combined with the savory flavor of the rest of the ingredients make Chicken Afritada a popular dish among Filipinos.
INGREDIENTS:
- oil
- 2 medium-size potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 medium-size red tomatoes, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 kilo chicken, any preferred part, cut into serving size
- salt
- ground pepper
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup green peas
- 3 medium-size onions, cut into cubes.
1. Add oil on a hot skillet over medium heat. Fry the potatoes until almost brown. Set aside.
2. On the same skillet, saute garlic, tomatoes and bell pepper. Add chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add chicken cubes. Cook until half-done turning over occasionally.
3. Add water. Add green peas and potatoes. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Add onions. Simmer for another 10 minutes or until all ingredients .
4. Serve with rice.
