    Ingredients
     

    • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
    • 8 skin-on chicken legs or thighs
    • 3 tablespoons of lemon juice
    • 1 red bell pepper sliced
    • 1 onion finely chopped
    • 3 garlic cloves minced
    • ½ cup of chicken broth
    • 2 cups of tomato sauce
    • 1 teaspoon of sugar
    • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
    • ¼ teaspoon oregano
    • Salt and pepper
    • 2 large carrots peeled and sliced
    • 1 cup green beans cut into bite size
    • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped

    Instructions
     

    • Season the chicken with the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Set aside for 15 minutes. In a sauce pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Working in batches, brown the chicken on both sides, about 9 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate.
    • Add the onion and bell pepper to the same sauce pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook about 1 minute more.
    • Add the broth, tomato sauce, sugar, cumin and oregano and bring to a boil, scraping up the browned bits from the pan bottom.
    • Return the chicken to the pot, reduce the heat to low, and add the carrots and green beans. Cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked, about 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle fresh cilantro and serve over white rice.

    Pollo Guisado was one of the most popular dishes in my house when I was growing up. This dish is very easy to prepare, full of flavor, and it is absolutely delicious! I love serving this with white rice on the side to soak up the rich and wonderful sauce.

    Use bone-in, skin-on chicken for best results. You can use boneless chicken, but it won't be as flavorful due to the absence of the bones.

    Buen provecho!

      Hi Erica! In the ingredients you list 3 garlic cloves. Just wondering are these whole cloves or minced? I am looking forward to making this next week. 🙂

      Hello Erica,
      I enjoy your website so very much. Thank you for sharing the beautiful culture and cuisine of Colombia. Your recipes are always delicious. I've made quite a few and love to read the ones I have yet to make. Today I prepared Pollo guisado a la jardinera. It was rich and flavorful, perfect with the rice to soak up the sauce. I'll look forward to this dish as winter comes. Thank you again,
      Holly

      Hello!
      Is the tomato sauce the hogao sauce, or do you actually mean tomato sauce as in commercial tomato sauce used for hot dogs etc
      Cheers
