Colombian Chicken Sancocho Stew
Report
This Colombian chicken sancocho stew recipe is my mother-in-law's best-kept secret. A comforting stew with big chunks of yuca, mazorca and plantains, this is a full one pot meal! You can serve this with arroz (white rice), avocado on the side and Colombian aji for a full Colombian meal. Try it with tostones with pico de gallo as a starter!

Instructions
- To a large pot, add 2 liters of water, chicken breasts, parsley, cilantro, and whole green onion with roots trimmed slightly.
- Grate ¼ of the yucca. Cut corn into quarters, yucca into 2cm pieces, and peel potatoes.
- Add the yucca pieces, corn, potatoes, and plantains to the pot.
- Bring to a boil, cover, and cook for 30 minutes. After 15 minutes, check chicken and remove if fully cooked. Continue cooking soup until vegetables are tender. Remove the cilantro, parsley and whole green onion stems, and discard.
- Make the guiso: In a pan, heat a touch of oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add diced tomatoes, garlic, achiote powder (if using), and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until tomatoes break down slightly.
- Once soup is done, shred the cooked chicken and add it back to the pot along with the guiso mixture.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro or green onions if desired.
