Chicken Afritada (Chicken Braised in Tomato Sauce)


Chicken Afritada is another popular Filipino dish.  Pieces of chicken are cooked in tomato sauce along with carrots, potatoes and bell peppers. Some prefer to add green peas and hot dogs as well, but I prefer my afritada without it.  Another variation will use both pork and chicken or will use just pork. I like my afritada simple and easy, with just the basic vegetables.
