Ingredients:

Ingredients Quantity
Garlic 3 cloves
Salt 2 teaspoons
Pepper 1 teaspoon
Paprika 2 teaspoons
Chicken 1 whole, cut into pieces
Olive Oil 1/4 cup
Onions 3 large, chopped
Bay Leaf 1 leaf
White Wine 1 cup
Potatoes 3 medium, diced
French Style Green Beans 1 cup
Green Olives 1/2 cup
Pimiento 1/2 cup

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Seasoning Paste: In a small bowl, mix garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika to form a paste.

  2. Season the Chicken: Rub the seasoning paste thoroughly onto the chicken pieces, ensuring they are coated inside and out. For best results, season the chicken the day before use, allowing the flavors to marinate.

  3. SautΓ© Onions: Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or casserole over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sautΓ© for 5 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently until they are soft and translucent. Remove the onions from the pot and set them aside for later use.

  4. Brown Chicken: In the same pot, add the seasoned chicken pieces and brown them well on all sides. Once browned, remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

  5. Deglaze the Pot: Pour white wine into the pot and use a wooden spoon to scrape any flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the pot, deglazing it.

  6. Combine Ingredients: Return the sautΓ©ed onions and browned chicken pieces to the pot. Add the bay leaf for added flavor.

  7. Simmer: Cover the pot and let the ingredients simmer over low heat for about 1 hour. Check occasionally and add small amounts of water if necessary to prevent sticking.

  8. Add Potatoes: After an hour of simmering, add the diced potatoes to the pot and stir gently to combine. Cover and continue cooking over low heat for an additional 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

  9. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or paprika according to your preference.

  10. Final Touches: Add the French style green beans, green olives, and pimientos to the pot. Continue cooking over low heat for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

  11. Serve: For optimal flavor, prepare the stew earlier in the day and reheat it before serving. Enjoy your delicious Cuban Chicken Stew with rice or crusty bread for a satisfying meal!
