Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 large potato cut batonnet
- 1 medium carrot cut batonnet
- 1 piece Chorizo de Bilbao sliced diagonally
- 3-4 pieces chicken hotdogs or 1 can Vienna sausage cut into half-inch rounds
- 1 small can whole champignon mushrooms drained then cut into halves if too big
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 pounds chicken leg quarters cut into serving pieces
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce or 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 cup water
- 1 small green bell peppers cut into cubes
- 1 small red bell pepper cut into cubes
- 1 can evaporated milk 150ml
- 1 pack all-purpose cream 250 ml
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a wide pan, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the potato and carrot cubes until the sides are golden brown. Remove them from the pan and set them aside.
- Next, fry the Chorizo de Bilbao, hotdogs, and mushrooms. Remove the hotdogs and mushrooms from the pan as they become just lightly browned and set them aside.
- Add the butter to the pan. Once melted add the onions and cook until lightly caramelized, about 3 minutes. Then add garlic cook for a minute.
- Add the chicken pieces and stir in fish sauce and ground pepper. Cook, stirring from time to time until the chicken turns opaque, about 5 minutes. This will let the chicken absorb the seasoning.
- Juices will come out from the chicken after this time but you may add 1 cup of water if it is too dry. Then cover the pan and cook for 15 minutes stirring from time to time.
- Add back the potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, hotdogs, and bell peppers. Stir to distribute. Lower heat and add the evaporated milk. Simmer for 5-7 minutes or until vegetables are cooked through.
- Add soy sauce and all-purpose cream. Stir to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes or until the sauce becomes creamy and thick.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
- Serve while hot and enjoy!
