This is another tasty dish from my favorite food blogger, Connie who has a website named CASA Veneracion (just check out the exact recipe at her website). It was also easy to do since I marinated the chicken overnight then the next day, I simply browned some garlic then removed the chicken from its marinade and fried the chicken in the same pan. After that, I removed some oil from the pan, let the reserved marinade boil then I returned the chicken pieces making sure each piece is rolled and covered in the sauce. When it was done, I placed half the chicken in a serving platter, the other half went to my daughter’s lunch box and topped with toasted garlic.
I also bought some for our lunch and my daughter and the hubby said that the flavor was good it’s just that the chicken was a bit tough to chew, I guess I overcooked the chicken… hehehe. Oh well, next time I know better and follow Connie’s instructions to just cook the chicken for only a few minutes each side. Or maybe I will try using chicken fillets next time. Here’s a pic of my chicken ala pobre. By the way, I googled the term a la pobre and though its Spanish translation means ‘poor’ this is definitely one dish that both rich and poor would surely appreciate. But Connie said that the term ala pobre is in reference to the cheaper cuts of meat that the dish ala pobre uses as opposed to steak cuts…so there, some trivia for us to know. Thanks again Connie!
