Pollo en Fricase (Chicken Fricasse)

Print Options
Description
The chicken turns out so tender, it almost falls off the bone and the sauce is lick-off-the-plate good! It is savory but it has a tangy sweetness because of the wine, and after the chicken, my favorite has to be the carrots. They are soft and sweet, like little nugget treats. I always serve it with rice so the rice sucks up all the sauce, but it doesn’t hurt to have a piece of bread handy.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Bone-in Chicken, Skinned
- MARINADE:
- 3 Tablespoons Adobo Seasoning
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Vinegar
- 3 Tablespoons Garlic, Mashed
- _____
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 cup Sofrito
- 1 cup Red Wine
- 1 can 8 Oz. Tomato Sauce
- 1 leaf Bay
- 8 whole Pimento Stuffed Green Olives
- 3 whole Potatoes, Peeled And Chopped
- 3 whole Carrots, Peeled And Chopped
- Salt To Taste
Preparation
Combine the first 5 ingredients ahead of time and refrigerate until needed. (I refrigerate mine at least 30 minutes, but usually overnight if I think far ahead enough. )
In a large heavy pot heat 1 Tbs. olive oil, add chicken and cook and brown on both sides. Remove from oil and set aside. In the same pot add the sofrito and cook for 3 minutes or so.
Return the chicken to the pot with the rest of the ingredients, season to taste, cover and cook over medium heat for 35 minutes** until the chicken is tender.
Serve over white rice.
*See related blog link regarding sofrito.
*When choosing a wine for this dish, it doesn’t have to be anything fancy, but pick something you would drink. Also, stay away from “cooking” wine because they tend to have a high salt content.
**You can also easily do this in a crockpot. Toss seasoned browned chicken in with everything else and set for 6 hrs on low.

I was looking for a recipe I could make in the crockpot for company coming over and stumbled upon yours. I have my own recipe for this but never thought about making it in the crockpot and I liked that yours had wine for the liquid instead of water. It was very good and my in-laws thought so too.
