🇩🇴 Dominican Republic recipe
Pollo Guisado
Pollo Guisado is the workhorse of Dominican home cooking — a deeply flavored braised chicken that appears on dinner tables multiple times a week in households across the island. Chicken pieces are marinated in a blend of citrus, garlic, and herbs, then braised low and slow in a rich tomato sauce until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce is thick and luscious. It is simple, nourishing, and endlessly comforting.
