JUMP TO RECIPE

If it is traditional sancocho, without a doubt, the chicken sancocho will occupy the first place since, from the time of the grandparents when they generally lived in the countryside, it was prevalent to see this preparation almost daily since the families were extensive. With this dish, they fed a lot, and there was always food on the table.

Chicken Sancocho

In the farms, almost all the ingredients were cultivated, like the banana, cassava, and vegetables. It was only to buy the potato because even the hens raised them. Yes, that's right, in the field the chickens grow freely, they are fed with corn or care and get so fat that their meat is quite delicious and preferred by many people.

A personal anecdote regarding the above is that when I was little, I visited my grandmother, and she immediately thought of preparing a chicken sancocho for us. So I took the fatter chicken, and then after plucking it, I began to express it to make a Delicious sancocho. The broth was delicious. I think I never tried one like that again.

Delicious Chicken Sancocho

For this chicken sancocho, although I don't have a chicken like the one I mentioned, I try to get the meat of this type of chickens that fattened in the field, they may be a little more expensive. However, it is worth it use it so that the sancocho left with all the flavor, and you don't need to use broths in an artificial flavor cube.

The preparation is straightforward, similar to the traditional sancocho, you know. Add the plantains in medium logs (hopefully matches with the hand), add good quality cassava, arracacha if you like, potatoes cut in halves and dressings such as paprika, carrot, onion, tomato, and coriander that cannot be missing.

Plate with Chicken Sancocho

If you find it difficult to find chicken, you can replace it with peasant chicken or those found in the market.

Now, if we prepare this chicken sancocho, I recommend accompanying it with lemon salad, plantain, avocado, and a few drops of lemon.
