Chicken Stew with Carrots and Potatoes
Total time: 1.15 hours
Ingredients
  • 2 cup water
  • 1 small bag (1.5lbs) baby yukon gold potatoes
  • 2 maggi® chicken bouillon cubes
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 1/2 cup olives (optional)
  • 1 and ¼ cup dry red wine
  • 5 cup rice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 can (14oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 4 pound bone-in chicken pieces (thighs, legs, breasts, wings)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro
  • 4 maggi® chicken bouillon cubes
  • 3 large carrots
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 16 oz. can tomato sauce
Directions
  1. Chop the Sofrito: onion, garlic, pepper and cilantro into pea sized pieces and combine. Set aside. Chop carrots into ¼ inch coins and cut the potatoes in half. Combine carrots and potatoes and set aside.
  2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and add the sofrito. Sauté until onions are translucent. Then add half a can of diced tomatoes, 2 tablets of Maggi Granulated Chicken Bouillon, olives (optional), and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the chicken pieces, and then stir in the remaining half can of chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce, red wine and 2 cups of water.
  4. Add the spices, potatoes and carrots and bring the pot to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat, cover with lid, and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, until the chicken and vegetables are tender. For a thicker consistency, remove the lid for the last 15 minutes to allow some of the liquid to evaporate.
  6. Prepare rice according to package instructions. Add 1 cube of Chicken bouillon to the water for every 4 portions of rice desired.
  7. Serve Chicken and sauce over rice.
