How to Make Chicken Guisado

  1. In a large deep pan or slow cooker, combine 2 cups of beef broth (made from 4 bouillon cubes), 1 (28 ounce) can of tomato sauce, and 1 tablespoon of coriander seasoning. Bring to a medium heat.
  2. Roughly chop 1 medium onion, 1 green bell pepper, 2 medium potatoes (peeled and cubed), and 2 medium carrots (peeled and chopped). Add to the tomato sauce mixture.
  3. Stir well and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro to the vegetables. Bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  6. Add 1/2 cup of dry red wine and 1/2 cup of beer. Stir to deglaze the pan.
  7. Cut 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into quarter-sized pieces. Add to the mixture in the pan.
  8. If the mixture becomes too thick, add 1/2 cup of water.
  9. Continue to cook on low, stirring occasionally, for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
  10. Serve hot over plain white rice or with your favorite noodles for a heartier soup. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
