About Aragonese pollo al chilindrón
Pollo al chilindrón is represented here by the Aragón traditional cookbook’s preparation. Chicken is combined with red peppers, onions, tomatoes and diced Teruel ham.
Tomato and red pepper give the sauce a rounded vegetable sweetness. Garlic, bay leaf and savoury cured ham add depth to the chicken’s flavour.
The chicken remains in pieces surrounded by the pepper-and-tomato mixture. The source describes the meat as tender, with the browned chicken and diced ham providing contrasting pieces within the sauce.
