"CHICKEN AFRITADA"

Chicken Afritada is a tasty dish that I recommend for people who do not enjoy eating raw tomatoes. You can still get the benefits from the vitamins and antioxidants (beta-carotene, lycopene, Vit A, C, potassium and more) from tomatoes in the form of the tomato sauce used in the afritada!

This is another meal-in-one dish I can recommend for kids especially, because it already has vegetables (the bell peppers, onions and garlic), potatoes and the chicken! The dish is very colorful as well, which makes it really interesting to serve on a plate, plus it is very tasty!
