Filipino chicken stew in tomato sauce with potatoes, carrots and green peas.
About Afritada
Chicken afritada is a Filipino tomato-braised stew of chicken and vegetables. This profile fixes a straightforward version with bone-in chicken, potatoes, carrots and green peas, omitting the source's optional hotdogs and sugar.
Tomato sauce gives the stew a gently sweet, tangy base, while browned chicken and broth build savoury depth. Garlic, red onion and bay leaf provide the aromatic backbone, with black pepper adding a restrained warm edge.
The dish has tender chicken pieces and chunky vegetables in a glossy red-orange sauce. Potatoes soften the body of the gravy, while carrots and peas retain enough shape and colour to give the stew a hearty, varied texture.
