SECO DE POLLO (ECUADOREAN CHICKEN STEW)

Categories     Dinner     Entree

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tomato
1 small green bell pepper
1 red onion
1 small green chili (optional)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 cup naranjilla pulp (such as GOYA® Naranjilla Fruit Pulp)
1 1/2 teaspoon chopped cilantro
1/2 can beer (optional)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 1/2 teaspoon ground annatto
1 bay leaf, or more to taste
6 pieces skinless chicken

Steps:

  • Place tomato, bell pepper, red onion, green chili, garlic, naranjilla pulp, cilantro, beer, and cumin in a blender and blend together well. The sauce will look greenish, have a very fresh, citrusy smell, and be the consistency of a curry. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Pour sauce into a large pot over medium-high heat, and add bay leaf and annatto powder until the color turns reddish-brown, and cook for 5 to 10 minutes. As the sauce cooks, it will turn a nice orange.
  • Add chicken into sauce and cook at a simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is tender and has acquired an orangish color, about 30 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick, taste, and dilute with a small amount of beer, naranjilla juice, or water, depending on which flavor you'd like to accentuate. Remove bay leaf. Serve with yellow rice.
