Pollo guisado, a well-seasoned chicken dish with plenty of veggies, is a great example. It&#8217;s popular in the Dominican Republic, Cuba and many other countries throughout Central and South America. This particular pollo guisado recipe originated as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/puerto-rican-inspired-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/puerto-rican-inspired-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Puerto Rican recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While some translate <em>guisado<\/em> strictly as &#8220;stew,&#8221; the term also implies that a dish is homey and comforting, like Danish <em>hygge<\/em> in a bowl. Adding to the cozy allure of this meal is the combination of tangy tomato and briny olives, plus the use of a pair of popular spice blends, adobo and sazon. As is common in Latin dishes, this one is built around a sofrito\u2014lightly cooked vegetables that form a flavorful base.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Pollo Guisado<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2124217\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Pollo-Guisado-FT25_133178_JR_0205_1.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"overhead shot of ingredients on the kitchen counter\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">JOSH RINK FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Canola oil:<\/strong> A neutral <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/confused-about-cooking-oils-bookmark-this-guide\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/confused-about-cooking-oils-bookmark-this-guide\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cooking oil<\/a> like canola oil distributes the spices without overpowering them. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/healthy-oils\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/healthy-oils\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Healthy oils<\/a> to use in place of canola include avocado, grape seed or sunflower.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sazon: <\/strong>This Puerto Rican spice blend is a staple in Caribbean cooking and typically includes cumin, coriander, garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and achiote or annatto, which gives it a deeply hued red color.

You can use a broiler or fryer chicken (a broiler is typically younger and smaller).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sofrito: <\/strong>Chopped onion, green pepper and tomatoes are the base of Puerto Rican sofrito, which is the building block of many traditional dishes like this one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Potatoes:<\/strong> Seek out waxy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/ingredients\/vegetables\/potatoes\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/ingredients\/vegetables\/potatoes\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">potatoes<\/a>, such as Yukon Gold or red bliss potatoes, as they&#8217;ll hold up better than starchy ones during the long cooking time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cilantro:<\/strong> The green leaves of this herb lend a bright, refreshing flavor to this pollo guisado recipe.

Kale, collards, chard and spinach would all be great flavor matches. The tougher the green, the longer you should let it cook. Collards might take up to an hour, while baby spinach will be ready in under a minute.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swap starches:<\/strong> Use cubed winter squash, plantain or yucca instead of potatoes in your Puerto Rican stew.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Pollo Guisado<\/h2>\n<p>Store leftover guisado de pollo in airtight containers in the fridge for up to four days. Glass containers are a better option than plastic ones due to the annatto, which may discolor plastic containers.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze pollo guisado?<\/h3>\n<p>Like most stews, pollo guisado freezes well. Store it in airtight containers in the freezer for two to three months. Prior to freezing, remember to label your stew with the date.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat pollo guisado?<\/h3>\n<p>You can reheat this Puerto Rican stew in a pot on the stovetop over low heat until the poultry pieces are heated through. Only reheat as much as you plan to eat. Heating it in the microwave will work, too.

You&#8217;ll need a nice sharp knife or a pair of kitchen shears for this task. If you&#8217;re attentive, you&#8217;ll be able to see where to cut by seeking out the bendy parts of joints and noticing where different muscles meet.<\/p>\n<p>Begin by removing the wings by cutting around them. Then, bend the legs back to pop the thigh joint and cut right through it. Next, sever the joint between the thigh and the drumstick. Finally, slide your knife along the breastbone to remove each breast. Save the carcass for homemade chicken broth.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make sazon from scratch?<\/h3>\n<p>As with many spice blends, making sazon from scratch ensures freshness and helps you avoid unwanted ingredients like food coloring and anti-caking agents. For homemade sazon, whisk together salt, black pepper, sweet paprika, garlic powder, cumin and a smidgen of turmeric.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with pollo guisado?<\/h3>\n<p>Perfect side dishes for this Puerto Rican stew include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/arroz-con-gandules-rice-with-pigeon-peas\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/arroz-con-gandules-rice-with-pigeon-peas\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rice with pigeon peas<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/plantain-fritters\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/plantain-fritters\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">plantain fritters<\/a>.
