Chicken Caldereta is a type of Filipino

chicken stew. This version involves
cooking the chicken in a tomato-based
sauce. I also add a good amount of
liver spread to make the sauce more
flavorful. This ingredient makes this dish
unique in a good way.

How to Cook Chicken

Caldereta
Making your own kalderetang manok at
home is simple and easy. Beginners
with little cooking experience should be
able to cook this dish as long as you
follow the steps below. The cooking
video should guide you on how to
properly execute the steps.

Start by pan-frying the potato and

carrot. Heat oil in a pan. Add the potato
first. Fry each side for 1 minute. Remove
the fried potatoes from the pan and
place on a plate or bowl lined with
paper towels. Do the same thing for the
carrot.

The next step is frying the chicken. We

don’t really need to cook it completely.
Simply fry each side for 1 1/2 minutes.
This process helps maintain the
appearance of the chicken preventing
the skin and cartilage from rapidly
shrinking when stewed later on. Set
aside the pan-fried chicken for now by
placing it on a clean plate.

It is time to formally cook the caldereta.

Saute onion and garlic using the
remaining oil. Add tomato. Continue to
cook while stirring until the onion and
tomato softens. Put the chicken back
into the pan. Since this is a tomato-
based stew, I am also adding tomato
sauce at this point. Canned diced
tomato or tomato puree can also be
used. Add water and let boil.

I am using a piece of Knorr Chicken

Cube to ensure that my stew has that
solid chicken flavor. Add the cube and
stir the mixture. I also add some Thai
chili peppers for that extra kick. Cover
the pan and continue to cook for 15
minutes. Use low to medium heat at
this point.

We want the chicken cooked equally.

For this reason, I turn the chicken
pieces over so that the top part gets
cooked with the sauce. It helps extract
the flavors from the chicken. Don’t
forget to add the liver spread. This
ingredients makes the dish taste better.
It is also provides the dish its identity
that makes it distinct from other
tomato based stew, such as chicken
afritada. Let it cook for 20 minutes after
covering the pan.

Add the bell peppers, cheese, carrot,

and potato afterwards. Cook for 5 to 7
minutes before seasoning with salt and
pepper. Enjoy your dish with warm
white rice.
