Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks, or more to taste

  • 4 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts, or more to taste

  • 1 (16 ounce) package chourico sausage, cubed

  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer

  • 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks, or more to taste

  • 1 onion, cut into chunks

  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

  • 5 tablespoons sofrito

  • ¼ cup red cooking wine

  • 3 (.18 ounce) packets sazon seasoning (such as Goya®)

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced, or to taste

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

  2. Place potatoes, chicken, chourico, beer, carrots, onion, parsley, sofrito, cooking wine, sazon seasoning, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a large Dutch oven; mix well to combine. Cover with aluminum foil.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) and vegetables are tender, about 2 1/2 hours.

Cook's Note:

I like to add zucchini sometimes to mix it up.
