Recipes FAQ

What is sofrito?

Sofrito is a traditional Puerto Rican seasoning that is made with onions, garlic, green peppers, and cilantro. It is blended together into a paste and used as a base for many Puerto Rican dishes.

Can I use boneless chicken for this recipe?

Yes, you can use boneless chicken for this recipe. However, the cooking time may be reduced since boneless chicken cooks faster than bone-in chicken.

Can I freeze leftovers?

Yes, you can freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

Recipe Tips

  • If you don't have sofrito, you can make your own by blending together 1 onion, 4 garlic cloves, 1 green bell pepper, and 1/2 cup of cilantro.
  • For a spicier version, add a diced jalapeño or habanero pepper to the pot.
  • If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by mixing together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and adding it to the pot.
