Chicken Afritada

This is one of my favorite dishes.  I love dishes with tomato-based sauces.  And I just don’t enjoy eating them, I also enjoy cooking them!  


This is not just your typical aftritada.  There’s a little twist to it.  First is frying potatoes which I actually got from my husband and second is sautéing bell pepper with onions and garlic.  Try it and you’ll taste the difference.

Happy Cooking!
