👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure even seasoning for balanced flavor.
2
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown chicken pieces on all sides until golden. Remove chicken and set aside.
3
Add chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
💡 전문가 팁: Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
4
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
5
Add quartered tomatoes and chopped bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to break down.
6
Return chicken to the pot. Pour in chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any stuck-on bits.
💡 전문가 팁: This deglazing process adds extra flavor to the sauce.
7
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
8
Stir in heavy cream and loroco flowers. Simmer gently for another 5-7 minutes, uncovered, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the loroco is tender.
💡 전문가 팁: Do not boil after adding the cream to prevent curdling.
9
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
💡 전문가 팁: Taste and adjust seasonings before serving.
