Chicken in Wine Sauce-El Salvador

"This recipe comes from El Salvador, and is very similar to the Latin American dish "arroz con pollo". However, with arroz con pollo the rice is cooked with the chicken, where this dish does not have rice cooked in it. If you wish, you may serve it over rice."

  1. We loved this chicken dish. It was easy to prepare with the perfect bit of spiciness. Made for CQ 2017
     
  2. Wonderful!! We had this with some peas as a side instead of rice, the flavours were perfect. I'm not fond of capers generally, but here they blend in perfectly. Thanks for sharing! Made this for CQ 2017 Central America for the Happy Campers
     
  3. Arroz con pollo sin arroz--I love it! We used boneless, skinless chicken and adjusted the cooking time accordingly. I particularly liked the capers in this. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT Witchin Kitchen.
