This recipe was given to me by a friend that I went to school with who's parents are Cuban. It's one of the most flavorable recipes I've tasted and the chicken is so tender it falls off the bone. My family loves this chicken and I've made it many times. I had to share it with all of you here.

Once chicken is blanched add the pepper, onion, garlic, paprika, oregano, cumin and rosemany. Allow to simmer and mix with chicken for 1 minute. Add tomato sauce, water, and one envelope of Sazon Goya con Asafran, stir and let simmer for 15 minutes. Add Alcaporrado and white cooking wine. Let simmer for 45 minutes.
Step 3

Add potatoes and simmer until potatoes have softened. Stir occasionally, this helps to break up the potato starch and thicken the fricasse. Chicken will be break away soft.
