have long been eating this dish and it is one of my favorites, but since I came to the US, I have cooked it only once.Thanks to the different foodblogs in my blogroll, I have gotten some ideas. I also apply to this dish the same thing I do with menudo: marinate the chicken pieces first in soy sauce-lemon. I love the effect.
This is another addition to my collection of the dishes that hubby likes so much (as long as he gets the breast part).
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound chicken stewing cuts, marinated in
1/4 cup soy sauce
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
3-5 medium tomatoes, sliced
2-3 carrots, cut into chunks
4-5 potatoes cut in wedges
1/2 cup green peas
1 handful of red/orange/yellow bell peppers (Tip: When you buy bell peppers in packs of 3s but are not able to use up all at once, you may slice the rest and place on baking pan, freeze for 30 minutes, then transfer to a freezer bag and freeze for several more months.)
PROCEDURE:
Marinate the chicken pieces in soy sauce-lemon juice for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, chop/slice all veggies.
On medium heat, sautee garlic then onion, then the tomatoes, followed by the chicken. Increase the heat until juices bubble, then lower to medium low, cover and let simmer for 10 minutes. Uncover, turn heat on medium high and let the juices evaporate, brown the chicken, then add the potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers. Cover, lower heat to medium low and let simmer for 20 minutes or until chicken is done. Add green peas during the last 10 minutes of cooking. From time to time, check to avoid drying and add water in increments of 1/2 cup to the desired consistency of the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot with plain rice.
PAHABOL NOTE:
I added hotdogs in the end for the sake of my stepd.

Wow!This looks so yummy!Ma try nga! I'm glad it's easier to access your new kusina! Bilib ako sa tyaga mong magluto Manang!!I wish I have your talent lalo na't nahohomesick ako sa mga pagkain sa Pinas.
anonymous, I am glad to hear that it is easier to access now. Di naman ako lagi matyaga magluto. Paminsan-minsan, hamburger helper lang or mac n cheese. :D Pero lately, due to my impending full time work status as an RN, I feel the urge to cook and bake (and experiment) as often as I can while I still can...
Thanks for this recipe Manang. I tried it today. It was yummy! I like the soy sauce and lemon marinade. The only request by my hubby was to de-bone it, he doesn't like getting his hands on stews. For me, I like using my fingers with my food. Boring ang pure meat and no bones.
Hi kk, Glad you liked it. You're lucky enough not to gross our your hubby by using your fingers when eating. You should have seen the look on my husband's face when he first saw my older son eating with his hands. He thought it was disgusting until I explained to him that it was usual for Filipinos to eat using hands (and of course, spoon and fork).
manang K, copy paste ko ito ha, medyo ako naman wala masyadong gana lately, walang maisip.
this looks like something my family will ALL eat. ako gusto ko sana isda araw araw pero wala akong ka sosyo kumain (except dotir once in a while).
wala pa akong gimik dear! naghahanap, para pambili ng aking mga "laruan" sa wish list (bread machine, new hand mixer, etc. etc)
okay now i'm inspired to make afritada. and you didn't even use Mama Sita mix! (i might cheat heehee)
