Chicken Kaldereta Recipe (Kalderetang Manok)

The Chicken Kaldereta Recipe is one of the most loved dishes in the Philippines although this was made known in the Philippines when the Spaniards brought it here during the war. Perhaps, because of this, they have learned to adapt this dish as their very own. The Beef Kaldereta may be the more common one but it doesn’t make the Chicken version a little less. Chicken Kaldereta is a bit similar to the Afritada version. Of course, Kaldereta is a bit hot so that gives the difference.

This dish is usually a part of the Sunday menu when all the family members are present. This is the perfect time for Mommy to cook for the family; after all, it is the only day that the family is complete.

Chicken Kaldereta Recipe Preparation

The Chicken Kaldereta is not so hard to prepare; just make sure there is garlic, onion, potato, fresh bell pepper and of course, not to mention the chicken. Saute the garlic and onion in a few drops of canola or vegetable oil and a few slightly crushed chilis then add the chicken. Allow the chicken to be tender before adding the peeled and cubed potatoes. Add the tomato sauce and turn to medium heat. Liver spread can also be added to make the sauce a bit thick just make sure that it doesn’t cover up the taste, making one think that it is just liver spread he is eating. Before removing from heat, the fresh bell peppers should be put into the pot. Make sure not to overcook the bell pepper as it is more delicious that way.
