Chicken Cuban Style is a stew. It was a very dear friend who gave me this recipe she gave it to me about 40 years ago. Long time…I use to make it a lot for my family but then I just stopped making it and forgot that I had the recipe. I was amazed when I found the recipe and could not believe that I had stopped making this dish.
So this Sunday it was Chicken Cuban Style Sunday and it was going to be yummy. I was going to bring back the past.
And I did!
Here is the ingredients you need. Please excuse the format but this is exactly how I had it written down.
Put enough oil to cover bottom of pot, place chicken pieces ( I liked to use chicken thighs) in pot, add potatoes, sliced onions, green pepper cut into long thin strands, 2 pimentos, cut into 4 pieces, about 10 green olives, you know the olives with the pimento stuffed in the center, a 1/2 cup cooking wine (red), one small can tomatoes sauce and one cup water. Add bay leaf, teaspoon of salt, pepper, oregano. Mix and cook over low heat for 1/2 hour, turn chicken over and cook another 1/2 hour.
We all enjoyed another blast from the past.
