Season with a pinch of ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot over steamed rice, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired.
For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in soy sauce and garlic for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or green beans to customize the dish to your liking.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of water and stir it into the Afritada during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Serve with a side of garlic fried rice for a truly unforgettable meal.
