Caldero Sofrito Chicken Stew

Tonight's fare, Sofrito Chicken Stew, borrowed and modified from SkinnyTaste. I serve this over brown rice for my hubby, who can eat carbs, and I eat it just as a stew. This should keep you warm!

Ingredients

Sofrito:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 6 scallions, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped fine or 2 heaping tbsp of minced garlic
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 1 1/2 med-lg. diced bell peppers
• 1 tsp. ground cumin
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 packet sazon

Stew:

• 8 chicken legs & 8 chicken thighs, bone in, skin removed
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 cup water
• a few pinches of salt
• 1/2 cup cilantro chopped (more if you love it!)

Directions:

• Sautee scallions, garlic, tomatoes, and peppers. Add salt, cumin, and sazon after 2 mins.
• Season chicken with salt and garlic powder, add to the pan with water and cilantro. Cover and simmer on low for 20-30 mins, or until chicken is cooked through. Serve over rice or just as a stew.
