This is the go-to Colombian recipe for when you're in a hurry or have unexpected guests and need to whip up lunch fast. Nothing is quicker and more delicious than a sudado. This time, I'm sharing a simple chicken and potato sudado—there are more elaborate versions with yuca, plantain, and corn, but I'll save those for another time. For now, here's this easy but delicious recipe. Hope you enjoy it!

Steps

1

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pot. Sauté the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Add salt to taste.
2

Once the vegetables are golden, add the chicken pieces. Brown them on both sides.
3

Meanwhile, blend the tomato with 2 cups of water (about 480 ml) and 1/2 teaspoon of annatto or color seasoning, if available.
4

When the chicken is browned on both sides, add the blended tomato mixture and the potatoes, sliced into rounds. Add the cilantro and check the salt, adding more if needed.
5

Cook over medium heat for about 25 minutes. When you poke the potatoes with a fork and they're soft, it's ready!
