🥗Healthier: chicken broth

💰Cheaper: apple cider vinegar

Chicken broth maintains flavor, while vinegar adds acidity without cost.

Mix oregano, cilantro, and cumin in a mini bowl. Set aside.

In a bowl, add the chicken. Season with half the spice mix and all of the adobo Goya. Add salt and pepper to taste and lemon juice. Place in the fridge and marinate for a few hours or overnight.

Remove the chicken from the fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking it. In a braiser or large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on all sides until golden. Transfer to a plate. Set aside.

To the same pot add onions, peppers and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes or until tender. Add the rest of the spice mix and packet of sazon Goya.

Pour in the white wine and tomato sauce. Add the cilantro and cook for 5 minutes. Transfer the chicken back to the pot. Pour in the water and add the bay leaf and potato. Gently stir to combine.

Cover with a lid and cook for 35 minutes on medium-low. Remove the lid and cook for an extra 5 minutes, if too soupy. Stir in the olives at the end season with a bit more salt if needed.

Serve over white rice and ENJOY!
