Directions Calabaza Con Pollo (Calabaza Squash and Chicken)
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add chicken thighs. Continue to boil until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain, reserving 2 cups broth. Shred or chop chicken and set aside.
Mix salt, garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper together in a bowl and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add calabaza squash, zucchini, yellow squash, tomato, and onion. Cook and stir until tender, about 10 minutes. Add corn, followed by tomato sauce, dry spice mixture, and chicken. Pour in reserved 2 cups chicken broth. Mix well.
Cover the pan and let simmer over medium heat, 20 to 30 minutes.
