For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Brown them in the skillet before adding the onions, then remove and set aside. Shred the chicken after it's cooked through in the tomato mixture and return it to the sauce. If you prefer fresh tomatoes, use about 2 cups of chopped fresh tomatoes instead of the canned diced tomatoes. You may need to add a splash of chicken broth or water if the mixture becomes too dry. Add a pinch of saffron threads to the dish for an authentic Cuban flavor and a beautiful golden hue. A dash of hot sauce can add a delightful kick. Serve with a side of fried plantains for a truly authentic Cuban experience.

Sep 13, 2023Easy to follow and tasted great. I added a little bit of brown sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
