Cheesy Chicken Caldereta with Pickles
May 12th, 2015 Manny
This chicken calderata is a cheesier version of the usual chicken calderata. Not only does is taste cheesier but the addition of pickles makes this dish tastier with a little sweet sour taste that you will truly love. The vegetables like potatoes and carrots are optional if you are not fond of eating them. Besides, meat and potatoes are not really a good combination for health reasons because those two are hard to digest. Anyway chicken meat is easier to digest so I think it will not harm you if you combine them in your calderata dish. By the way, I discovered using the back part of the chicken is tastier when cooking this dish but it has lots of bones compared to legs and thigh.
Ingredients:
In a small pan, fry the potatoes until slightly brown and half cooked. Set aside.
In the same pan, leave just 2 Tbsp. of oil in the pan and saute garlic and onion until fragrant.
Add in the chicken pieces and saute until the skin in slightly brown then add the patis and pickles.
Stir cook for about 1 minute and then add the tomato sauce and water.
Simmer until the chicken is cooked and tender. Add in the liver spread, chilies and carrots. Simmer for another 2 minutes.
Then add the potatoes and cheese and simmer for another 2 minutes. Serve hot with steamed rice.
