Cooking Blog: Chicken Afritada For Our Dinner

Hello, how are you? So whenever I cook chicken, they always request me to cook adobo, but this time I am the one who will decide what recipe I am going to cook. LOL

So I decided I am going to cook Chicken Afritada to change the food too, and I miss eating this, maybe the last time I tasted it was last year, so yeah, cravings satisfied again hehe.

---

Ingredients I Used:

---

Let's Cook!

I added about a half cup of cooking oil to a pan.

---

And then I added the potatoes and fried them until crispy.

---

And then I next I added the carrots in too and then fry it too until the texture is crispy.

---

This is what it looks like, and then I set them aside for later use.

---

Then I added the saba and fried it too until browning started appearing, and then set it aside for later too.

---

Before I added the chicken into the pan, I reduced the oil and left about just a tablespoon of it. After that, I added the chicken and cooked it until it changed color and browning started appearing.

---

And then I added the aromatics like garlic, red onion, and ginger, and I added the celery and bell pepper too, and let it cook until the aromatics come out.

---

Then I added 1/4 teaspoon of ground pepper for spice.

---

And then to make it tastier, I added a tablespoon of fish sauce and let the fish sauce seep into the chicken for about 10 seconds.

---

And then I put in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and 250g of Tomato Sauce.

---

Mix them until well combined.

---

And then I added about 3 cups of hot water to the pan.

---

I added about a tablespoon of brown sugar to balance the flavor.

---

To add more flavor to the food, I added about a teaspoon of all-in-one seasoning.

---

After that, I added about a tablespoon of cheese. And then let it cook for about 15 minutes on medium heat.

---

After 15 minutes, I added the potatoes and carrots, cook it for about 5 minutes.

---

After 5 minutes, I added the saba last and just cooked it for about 1 minute only, and done!

---

Here is the closer look!

---

Happy Eating, everybody!
