Preparation: 15 minutes

Cooking: 2 hours

Total: 2 hours and 15 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
2 tomatoes, diced
1 cup of corn kernels
1 cup of diced yuca (cassava)
1 cup of diced potatoes
1 cup of diced carrots
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
1 teaspoon of dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
6 cups of chicken broth
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and brown them on all sides until golden. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the garlic, onion, and bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened.
Add the diced tomatoes, corn, yuca, potatoes, carrots, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
Return the browned chicken pieces to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until the chicken is tender and the flavors have melded together.
Once the sancocho is done, remove the chicken pieces from the pot and shred the meat. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir well.
Serve the Panamanian Sancocho hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and accompanied by lime wedges for squeezing over the stew. Enjoy!
