A flavorful and comforting dish inspired by Dominican cuisine, perfect for a hearty meal.
Wash the chicken thoroughly and rub it with the juice of the lime.
Using lime juice helps to tenderize the chicken and adds a fresh flavor.
Combine the chicken with the cubanelle pepper, red onion, plum tomatoes, cilantro, oregano, and adobo seasoning in a bowl. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
Marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.
Heat a large pot over medium heat, add the sugar, and let it caramelize until golden brown.
Keep an eye on the sugar to avoid burning it.
Add the marinated chicken to the pot, reserving the vegetables and marinade liquid. Sauté until the chicken is lightly browned.
Browning the chicken adds depth to the flavor of the dish.
Add the reserved vegetables and marinade liquid to the pot. Cover and simmer over medium heat, adding water as needed, until the chicken is tender.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Mix the tomato paste with a small amount of water and add it to the pot. Stir well and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding more water if needed.
Remove the pot from heat and discard the cilantro stems. Serve the chicken with its sauce over rice or your preferred side dish.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for a vibrant presentation.
