Chicken and potatoes are a winning combination - there are those who are used to grilling the chicken and potatoes in the oven, there are those who like to put them together in a baking bag with a delicious marinade and there are those who swear they are the tastiest as a sofrito.

There are also different schools of thought regarding the sofrito - the sofrito pot can be prepared with lamb or beef, but then it needs a long cooking time.

Actually, chicken sofrito is simple and easy to prepare, does not require much time and is also very popular with children.

The secret of any good sofrito, Chen Mizrahi reveals to us from the blog Chen in the kitchen, is the browning of all the ingredients of the dish separately and only then cooking them all together with a little liquid.

The result is juicy, tender chicken that falls off the bone, potatoes that are brown on the outside and soft on the inside, and a thick sauce with a deep, rich flavor.

To enrich her sofrito pot even more and add sweet flavors that the kids love, she also adds sweet potatoes and a little sweet chili.

Preparation

How do you make chicken sofrito with potatoes and sweet potatoes?

1
Brown the ingredients for the sofrito:
heat the oil in a wide pot (sautage) over high heat.
Fry the potatoes followed by the sweet potatoes until brown (not all together).
Remove from the oil and place on a plate with absorbent paper.
Salt a little.
2 Pour the oil from the pot (leave a small amount of about 3 tablespoons only) and fry the chicken pieces on high heat, on the skin side, until brown.
Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
3. Add the onion with a little salt and fry for 15-20 minutes until golden (while frying, "scrape" the bottom of the pot from the sediment, you can add a little water).
4
Prepare the stew:
add the paprika, turmeric, salt and pepper and continue to fry for about half a minute to a minute.
5 Add the silan and chili sauce, mix (while scraping the bottom of the pot).
6 Add the chicken (with the brown side up) and the water to the pot.
7 Add the potatoes, add water as needed up to half the height of the chicken and potatoes).
Bring to a boil, cover and cook on a low flame for about one and a half to two hours until the chicken is very tender.
