Introduction

Ingredients

• 2 lbs of chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 bell peppers, chopped
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 1/4 cup tomato paste
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Season the chicken thighs with the oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spices all over the chicken to ensure that it is fully coated.
2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Add the chicken thighs to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until browned and crispy. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.
4. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
5. Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional minute.
6. Add the white vinegar to the pot and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
7. Add the tomato paste to the pot and stir to combine with the vegetables.
8. Add the chicken broth to the pot and stir to combine.
9. Add the bay leaf to the pot and stir to combine.
10. Add the chicken thighs back to the pot, making sure that they are fully submerged in the broth.
11. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer for 30-40 minutes, until cooked through and tender. Stir occasionally to ensure that the chicken is evenly coated with the broth.
12. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool slightly.
13. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
14. Discard the bay leaf from the pot.
15. Use an immersion blender or transfer the broth to a blender to puree the vegetables until smooth.
16. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to combine with the pureed vegetables.
17. Simmer the Adobo de Pollo for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the flavors have melded together and the stew is thick and creamy.
18. Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving.
19. Serve hot with rice, beans, or your favorite side dish.
