Chicken Fricase - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lbs chicken thighs (I get boneless, skinless)
3 teaspoons adobo seasoning
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup ham, diced (optional)
1 cup sofrito sauce
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup white wine
2 teaspoons capers, minced before measuring
2 bay leaves
3 small potatoes, cut up (I use red and keep the skin on)

Preparation

1. Make a paste of the adobo, olive oil, vinegar, garlic and salt.
2. Rub/brush the chicken with the paste, let sit for up to an hour (if you don't have time to let the seasoning sit it will still taste pretty good).
3. Brown the chicken in a large heavy saucepan in the 3 tbs olive oil, set aside on separate plate, leave the renderings and oil in the pan.
4. In the oil saute the ham and sofrito for 3 minutes or so.
5. Add the chicken and the rest of the ingredients, and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes until chicken and potatoes are cooked & tender.
6. Enjoy! This recipe is great served with rice and gets better after sitting in the fridge for a day or two.
