To prepare "Ropa Vieja de Pechuga de Pollo," a delicious shredded chicken dish, follow these steps:





Ingredients:

- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions:


1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

4. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, cumin, paprika, dried oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

5. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

6. Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it using two forks.

7. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir it into the sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend together.

8. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

9. Serve the Ropa Vieja de Pechuga de Pollo hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley.
