Cuban Chicken-And-Plantain Stew
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 pound skinned, boned chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1 1/2 cups chopped plum tomato
- 1 cup dry sherry
- 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (14 1/4-ounce) can low-salt beef or chicken broth
- 2 cups sliced plantains (about 3/4 pound)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken, onion, and bell pepper; saute for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in tomato and next 8 ingredients (tomato through broth). Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes. Stir in plantains; cook 10 minutes or until tender. Sprinkle with parsley.
- Note: Beef broth is used to help deepen the flavor in this stew, but chicken broth is a fine substitute.
- Look for firm plantains; overripe fruit will become mushy during cooking.
