chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Tofu provides a plant-based option, while chicken thighs are less expensive than breasts.

Remove the chicken breasts from the bones by cutting vertically along the center and around the cartilage to keep as much meat as possible.

Cut the chicken into uniform cubes for even cooking and season with salt; set aside.

Use the bones to make a broth for added flavor; briefly sear the bones in a pot.

Add chopped garlic and half an onion to the pot with the bones, along with any available vegetables like celery, and lightly toast them.

Pour in water and add cilantro; bring to a boil and simmer for 25 minutes to create a flavorful broth.

Strain the broth and set it aside for later use.

In the same pot, heat achiote and garlic paste until the garlic is lightly browned.

Add finely chopped red onion and white onion, mixing well and seasoning with salt, pepper, cumin, and crushed oregano.

Incorporate the seasoned chicken pieces into the pot and mix with the sautéed vegetables.

Once the chicken is partially cooked, add half of the prepared broth and let it cook for an additional 15 minutes.

Blend the peanut butter with the remaining broth until smooth and add it to the pot with the chicken.

Add enough water to ensure there is at least two fingers of liquid above the chicken.

Add diced potatoes and cook for at least 10 minutes until the sauce thickens and the potatoes are tender.

Finish with fresh cilantro for added flavor before serving.
