Chicken Afritada Filipino style

Chicken thighs and lots of veggies all cooked in one pot. You only need the rice cooker for the basic white rice.

This is a recipe I found on Pinterest from "Mama Lulu Cooks". But I only watched the YT video and wrote down the list of ingredients. 

She cooks in pots a size, I don't have at home. I added some of my mini chilis, because I like the kick of heat when I bite on one of them.

A good amount of veggie prep has to be done. But when you plan it right, you can cook it easily. 

Recipe for 4:

4 chicken thighs

Chicken seasoning

1 tsp oil

2 onions

6 cloves of garlic

3 bay leaves

7 mini chilis

2 carrots

1 red bell pepper

3 medium potatoes

3 tbsp tomato paste

550 ml water

3 tsp chicken stock

2 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp sugar

3 tbsp dark soy sauce

Salt and pepper

Basmati

Season the chicken thighs and it a little oil brown them on both sides and then take them out.

Soften the onions and garlic next, then add the tomato paste and cook it out. Chicken back in and the water. 

Now all the veggies, seasoning and bay leaves. Get it back to boil, cover and reduce the heat and cook for 30 min. 

Use a rice cooker to cook the basmati.
