Instructions

  • Remove any skin for the chicken thighs, even if you've opted for bone in. Add the chicken thighs to the crockpot.
    3 lbs Chicken
  • Dice or chop the potatoes, onion, carrots, and the garlic. Add on top of the chicken in the crockpot.
    3 large Potatoes, 3 Carrots, 1 Onion, 3 cloves Garlic
  • Using a medium size bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, sofrito, chicken stock, Oregano, ground Cumin, and the Sazon seasoning.
    8 oz Tomato sauce, 4 oz Sofrito sauce, 3 cup Chicken stock, 2 teaspoon Oregano, 2 teaspoon Cumin, 2 packet Sazon Goya
  • Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Add the olives last, on top of the chicken stew.
    4 oz Olives
  • Cover the crockpot and set to HIGH and slow cook for 7 hours.
  • You can shred the chicken in the stew, or serve as is, in chunks. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, and serve with hot rice, quinoa, or just as it is, a hearty chicken stew.
    1 tablespoon Cilantro

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, brown the chicken in the skillet before adding it to the slow cooker.
  • If you don't have a slow cooker, you can make this chicken stew in a Dutch oven or large pot on the stovetop. Just cook it over low heat for about 2 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and the stew is thickened.
  • If you want a spicier stew, you can add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
