As a busy WAHM and with a house full of men, I’m always searching for recipes that are flavorful and hearty. The slow cooker (crockpot) is one of my favorite kitchen aids for creating unique recipes that can be easily modified for taste and/or preference.
A following recipe is a slow cooker variation of a traditional Puerto Rican dish, Pollo Guisado, (chicken and potatoes stew):
Ingredients
1 pound chicken drumsticks
1 tablespoon adobo seasoning
1/2 (.18 ounce) packet sazon seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 large red potatoes, peeled and thickly sliced
1 large red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 large onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 fresh or dried bay leaves
Directions
1. Wash the chicken and pat dry; place into a large bowl. Season with adobo seasoning, sazon seasoning,
and salt. Place the legs into a slow cooker, and cover with the potato slices.
2. Puree the red pepper, green pepper, onion, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, wine, cumin, and oregano in a blender. Pour over the chicken and add the bay leaves.
3. Cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, until the chicken is easily removed from the bone.
*NOTE* Add the onions and peppers to the crockpot 1 -2 hours before finished cooking so onions/peppers will not be soft or mushy. Frozen or homemade sofrito can be substituted for sazon seasoning. Serve with hot white rice.

I love my slow cooker.. It’s my BFF! hahahaha.. I like this recipe, it has some ingredients I never thought of.. Thanks for sharing!
Chicken, adobo, sazon, sofrito. What could possibly go wrong? Maybe not making enough! To my daughter, chicken is practically its own food group.
Im just getting into using my slow cooker and definitely must bookmark this 🙂 Thanks!
Just made this and it is delicious. I was missing a few ingredients (wine, bay leaves, potatoes!) but I threw in some chicken stock instead and went ahead with it. I’m so glad I did. I’ll be making this again and again…so full of flavor and so easy to make. Can’t wait to try it as written, thanks for sharing.
