Pollo Guisado (Chicken Stew)
A true taste of home. Pollo guisado is a comforting Puerto Rican classic—tender chicken simmered in a rich, savory sauce packed with bold island flavor. It’s the kind of dish that brings warmth, love, and tradition to every table.
🌿
What it’s made of
This hearty dish is full of deep, delicious flavor thanks to:
Chicken (bone-in for the best flavor)
Sofrito (garlic, peppers, onions, cilantro, and herbs)
Tomato sauce
Potatoes
Carrots
Olives (for that signature Puerto Rican touch)
Seasonings & spices (adobo, oregano, sazón)
A splash of broth or water
🍳
How it’s made
The chicken is first seasoned and lightly browned to lock in flavor. Then, sofrito is sautéed to build a rich, aromatic base. Tomato sauce, vegetables, and seasonings are added, and everything is simmered together until the chicken becomes fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce thickens into a savory stew.
🍽️
Ways to enjoy it
Pollo guisado is best enjoyed:
Served over a plate of fluffy white rice 🍚
With arroz con gandules for the ultimate combo
Alongside tostones (fried plantains)
With a slice of avocado on the side 🥑
Or enjoyed all on its own as a comforting, hearty meal
