Chicken Afritada is one of the famous Filipino dishes. The chicken is stewed in tomato sauce with carrots, potatoes and bell peppers. But for this recipe, I replace the tomato sauce in tomato ketchup.
Ingredients:
1-kilo chicken legs (or chicken breast), cut to small pieces
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium onion, diced
1 small bell pepper, diced
1 medium potato, diced
1 medium carrot, diced
1/4 cup snow peas (optional)
1 tbsp. tomato paste
1/4 cup tomato ketchup
1 cup of water
1 bay leaf
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1tbsp. mirin
Procedure:
1. Fry carrots and potatoes until lightly brown. Set aside. Also lightly fry the chicken and set aside.
2. Set your stove to medium-low heat. Saute garlic, onion and half of the bell pepper, cook until the onion is translucent.
3. Add tomato paste and tomato ketchup. Stir continuously to prevent burning. When the sauce became shinny add the chicken and one cup of water. Cover and simmer until cooked.
4. Add 1 bay leaf and season with salt and pepper.
5. Finally, add the carrot and potatoes and simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
6. Serve hot and enjoy.
