​Dominican Pollo Guisado (Stewed/Braised Chicken):
 Pollo guisado is a traditional and savory stewed chicken dish served over rice and is a staple in many Hispanic/Latino households. I grew up eating this dish that relies heavily on spices and seasonings such as oregano, garlic, onions and peppers to name a few. Pollo guisado is a dish that can be made for a small family dinner or a large get together. It's also a perfect dish to bring along for a pot luck. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-4 days and in the freezer for 3-4 months. I hope you find this dish as comforting and warming as I do. Now, let’s cook!

Instructions:

1. Season the chicken with the adobo and sazon on all sides. Put it to the side. 
2. Using a large non-stick skillet, turn the heat on to medium high. Add the oil to a large non-stick skillet.
3. Once the oil is heated, add the chicken and cook it until it is browned on all sides. Remove it from the skillet and put it to the side.
4. Add minced garlic, onions and peppers and cook until the onion becomes translucent. 
5. Return the chicken to the skillet and add oregano, olives, potatoes, tomato sauce, chicken stock, and bay leaves.
6. Let it cook until it starts boiling, then cover and cook for 25 minutes on low heat or until the potatoes are cooked through and the meat is tender. If the potatoes and meat are not cooked through add additional time as needed.
