Cubabro: Chicken afritada (pollo guisado)

Since Filipino street food is notoriously bad, and you might get tired of eating Jollibee, I'll share a Filipino/Spanish recipe that's delicious, nutritious, is appealing to people with multiple taste palates, and can be prepared even in a small condo with only a 1 burner stove

Ingredients:

1. 1 clove of garlic
2. A few small red onions

6. Small dash of cooking oil of your choice
7. 1/2 kilo of chicken

, bell pepper, and red onions. Wash chicken and marinate with salt/pepper/granulated garlic (or seasoning of your choice)

3. Remove chicken from pot and discard water

4. Heat a small amount of cooking oil in pan. When hot, add minced garlic bell pepper, and red onions.

5. Once garlic and onions are starting to brown, add back your chicken.
