Chicken Afritada is a Filipino dish with potatoes, bell peppers, and tomato sauce. Here's my own version of this dish.
Ingredients:
1 kilo chicken cut into pieces
5 pieces potatoes, peeled and halved
1 red onion, diced
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 green/red bell pepper, sliced into strips
2 cups chicken stock
3 cups tomato sauce (just use 1 cup if you are not a big fan of tomatoes)
2 tablespoons of fish sauce
3 tablespoons of cooking oil
salt, pepper, and sugar to taste
Chicken stock: One piece of chicken cube dissolved in hot water.
* Heat oil in a cooking pan;
* When the oil is hot, sauté garlic and onions (garlic should be slightly brown and the onion chunks are transparent);
* Add chicken and make it slightly brown (if you added pieces of chicken with bones, make sure that there's no blood on the bones);
* Add potatoes and continue to cook;
* Once potatoes are already cooked, pour tomato sauce, stock and fish sauce;
* Bring to a boil and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes or until chicken is almost cooked;
* Add the green/red bell pepper and simmer for an additional minute or two;
* Add salt and pepper or a little sugar if you want it slightly sweet;
* Serve hot.
