Pollo (Chicken) Fricassee from Puerto Rico
Why I Love This Recipe
"Seasoned chicken drumsticks and potatoes are slowly cooked in a puree of bell peppers, onion, and cilantro in this authentic Puerto Rican Pollo Fricassee. You can either make in on the stove or in your slow cooker. It is delicious and very easy to make! Serve with white rice, tostones and a nice salad."
