Ingredients

  • 6 or 7 chicken drumsticks or about 1/2 a chicken
  • Adobo
  • Meat tenderizer
  • Water about 1 1/2 cups
  • Carrots about 10 baby carrots
  • Sazón 1/2 packet
  • 1 Tbsp sofrito homemade if you can, but store-bought works too
  • 1 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 Tbsp tomato sauce
  • 1/2 Tbsp cooking oil
  • 4-5 green olives
  • Salt to taste
  • Potatoes about 3 medium, rinsed, peeled, and chopped into eighths

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with adobo and meat tenderizer to your liking.

  2. Add chicken to pot with water, carrots, sazón, sofrito, tomato paste, tomato sauce, oil, olives, and salt.
  3. Cook covered on low-medium heat until chicken is somewhat tender.
  4. Add potatoes and continue cooking on low-medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  5. Raise heat to medium-high heat. Cook about 10 minutes until broth thickens a bit. Keep an eye on the pot as to not over-cook.
