Puerto Rican Chicken Stew and Caribbean Fruit Salad


This stew was made in the crock pot by combining chicken broth, tomato sauce, chopped onions, diced red bell pepper, diced pepperoncinis, chopped olives, garlic, cilantro, vinegar, capers, bay leaf, oregano, pepper, and paprika. Some skinless chicken thighs, seasoned with salt went on top of this mixture and allowed to stew for 4 hours.

Some rice was stirred in and allowed to cook for 30 minutes and dinner was ready.

We also had a Caribbean Fruit Salad which was fresh orange slices, cubed fresh pineapple, sliced red onion and feta cheese all combined in a bowl. The dressing was made with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, white wine vinegar, honey, Dijon Mustard and salt.

Both the stew and the salad were garnished with fresh cilantro.

A very yummy dinner!
