Sudado de Pollo Colombiano

The sauce is what really makes this Sudado de Pollo dish and when you mix it whit white rice it is delicious. I love it because it is truly traditional Colombian cuisine that Colombians eat every day and reminds me of my childhood every time I smell it.

Enjoy my Sudado de Pollo recipe.

  3. Oh wow your stew looks very delicious. I am looking forward to making this one next weekend. As I live in Tasmania, I think I might have a hard time finding some sazon goya with azafran, any idea of what I might substitute? I will try my best to find some though!

  4. Oops, one more question…

    Your ingredients says 1 chicken bouillon, do you know what this might be as a liquid measurement, like liters or milliliters?

    • they are sold in cubes or little powder packages . use one cube or 1 pkg. Taste! you may want to add a bit more depending on the amount of water you use. This is a light seasoning you cant really over do it.

  5. you can find sazon goya in any supermarket in the Latin aisle.
    you can buy it online at the amazon store or use
    turmeric or any pre-mixed seasoning powder with coloring.

    Maggie, you can replace the chicken bouillon for 3 cups of chicken stock, but do not use water.

  8. I made this today–just used one large idaho potato and cut it into 6 sections b/c I didn’t have any yellow ones. I also added some mushrooms to it (personal taste). It was very good!

  12. Hi,
    this a great recipe, also; at home we add a few drops of lime or lemon juice to it, it enhance the flavors!
    Nothing like my traditional Colombian food! 🙂

    Hola,

    Nada como mi comida tipica Colombiana! 🙂

  18. I made this tonight and it was wonderful! The flavor and aroma was exactly what I remembered. I’ve made many of your recipes and they’ve all been what I remember from my family in Neiva. Your site is my number one resource for Colombian cooking.

  21. I’ve been craving this dish for the longest. Mom used to make it when I was a kid. My wife is American, but loves latin food, so I tried your recipe, since I am ‘new to the kitchen’, and I didn’t know where to begin, this recipe was just what I needed. Made it for dinner and it was great. Thanks so much. Any chance of getting a recipe for “Lengua en Salsa” Thanks again!!!

  22. My husband is from Bogota and I made this for him tonight. He tried it and immediately knew what it was. He loved it! He said it brought him back to Colombia (he hasn’t been there for 8 years)

  32. Hey i love making this recipe but as a working mom i was wondering if i could do this on a slow cooker so it would be ready by the time i got home? If so can you please advise for how long and temperature.

    • Normally I wouldn’t answer a question intended for someone else, but yours led me to find:
      thekitchn.com/5-tips-for-converting-recipes-to-the-slow-cooker-189343
      …which has really good advice you could use. As a slow cooker fan myself, I found the article to be very helpful.

  33. Hey! This looks great! We are doing a Colombian food feature soon and are going to be making our own pollo sudado tonight, combining features from this version with a few others. A couple of sources we found use achiote, so we’ll add some of that as well. We’ve even seen mustard and Worcestershire sauce as ingredients, but we might pass on those. Thanks for providing the world with your valuable insight on Colombian food!

  34. Hi Erica,
    About a year ago we stopped cooking with seasonings that contain msg, would paprika and cumin do for this recipe? Thanks

  38. Hola!

    I was wondering if I make this recipe but do not add the potatoes, how long should I leave the chicken for it to be ready? The extra 30 minutes still? Thank you!

  39. Im a beginner in the kitchen & tired of cooking the same thing all of the time. I wanted some sudadito like the one my Grandma makes & I ran into your page and thank God….. It tastes amazing and smells exactly like I remember.

    THANK YOU

  40. I made this for supper tonight, and it’s great! Better than my mom’s 🙂 My mom is from Colombia and she knows all of these recipes, but I’m born in Canada, and although I know a few recipes, it’s so great to have a resource that I can look up the recipes in english. Thanks very much!

  41. Estimate Erica,
    Gracias por todas estas recetas. Yo tambien soy de Medellin y vivo en California hace 30 anos. Mi mama tambien vive aca y ya esta de edad. Se le han olvidado mucho las recetas pero quiere que yo le haga Falso Pollo ( carne de red, carne de marrano alberjas, zanahoria y era al bano Maria en un tarro de avena de aluminio). Tambien quiere albondigas rusas ( carne desmechada sin papa y creo que eran horneadas) sabes de estas recetas o quizas tu mani o tia. Me gustaria muchos hacerle estas recetas a mi mami ,las he buscado mucho pero no las encuentro, todos en la familia se acuerdan de ellas,pero no sabes las recetas. Te agradezco mucho si las buscas.Son deliciosas y me gustaria que mi mama las comiera otra vez.
    Patricia

    • Did you try it in the slow cooker? Because i was going to ask the same question And if you did what did you so differently?

  43. Omg…I made this tonight. It’s SOOOOOO good! My best friend bragged that her mother-in-law made this for her family last night, so I Googled the recipe and found this blog. I’m glad I did because I had just about everything already at home. However, my grocery store didn’t sell the sazon with azafran, so I found a substitute online (1 tbsp each of ground coriander, cumin, garlic powder, ground annato seeds, garlic powder and salt). My house smells amazing and the taste is divine. I am going to try something many more of your recipes now! Thanks!

  44. I’ve made this a few times and tastes just like mom makes 🙂 my only question is when you cook for 30 minutes, do I lower the heat? Because I’m not getting as much “caldo” as I’d like.

  46. Gracias Erica tus recetas son increíbles. Yo también quiero saber si sabes la receta de las albóndigas rusas , mi abuelita las hacía , que buenos recuerdos . Nadie de mi familia sabe la receta y se que en muchas familias en Medellín las hacían . Sabes la receta ?

  1. […] My fiancé was born and raised in the UK. His mother is from Palmira, Colombia and moved to London in the seventies as did his father, a haematologist from Manilla, Philipines. They met, married and soon after my lovely fiancé was born! My fiancé spent time living in Colombia during his teens. He was taught to cook this dish by his Aunt. His Aunt later moved to a lovely Spanish town called Cuidad Real,  so luckily for me I was able to visit her and sample some de-lish Colombian home cooking. Now with most of his Colombian family living in London I get to sample it all of the time! You can find out how to cook chicken stew here. ♥ […]
