How to make Colombian Chicken Sauté

Why cooks start here

Colombian Chicken Sauté is cooked the way Colombian home tables cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a colombian family cook actually puts it on the table.

Colombian Chicken Sauté, a staple in many homes, captures the essence of everyday Colombian cooking. It’s a dish that threads through the days of the week, finding its place on the table as families gather for a comforting meal. While not tied to a specific celebration, it embodies the casual, heartfelt sharing typical of a Colombian home kitchen, where the cook knows the importance of seasoning by feel and using ingredients abundantly. Expect a symphony of flavors as the savory chicken thighs meld with the sweetness of caramelized onions and the gentle heat of peppers. The oil carries these flavors, creating a dish that is both rich and satisfying. Serve it hot, fresh from the pan, letting the warm, seasoned aromas fill the room and appetites alike.
