Tasty Tuesday – Pollo Fricassee Puerto Rico

Oh my…..the entire house smelled so good while this yummy recipe was cooking in my slow cooker….just imagine the smells in the kitchen within an hour…the alluring aromas of garlic and cilantro and onion...mmmm good.... The chicken was so moist, tender, and falling off the bones.

So with out further lip smacking here is the recipe:

2 – 3 pound chicken drumsticks

1 tablespoon adobo seasoning

1/2 (.18 ounce) packet sazon seasoning

1/2 teaspoon salt

5 large red potatoes, chunked

1 large red bell pepper chopped

1 large green bell pepper chopped

1 large onion chopped

5 cloves garlic minced

1 bunch fresh cilantro chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup dry red wine

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon dried oregano

2 fresh or dried bay leaves

DIRECTIONS:

Wash the chicken, remove skin, and pat dry; place into a large bowl. Season with adobo seasoning, sazon seasoning, and salt. Place the legs into a slow cooker, and cover with the potato chunks.

Puree the red pepper, green pepper, onion, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, wine, cumin, and oregano in a blender. Pour over the chicken and add the bay leaves.

Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, until the chicken is easily removed from the bone.

We served this with a simple green salad and Ali’s 3 bean dish. Lucky for everyone there was a few servings of the Blackberry Crisp from the weekend still left. Good food – Good times!
