Chicken mechado dish is a tomato-based stew chicken recipe. The chicken meat is braised and slow-cooked in tomato sauce together with certain spices, potatoes, and bell peppers until they are soft and tender. During the time of cooking, the delicious flavor and tenderness of the chicken meat are developed with a rich brown sauce. It is more of a feast-style dish due to the abundance of tastes and colors. It goes well with a dish of warm rice. In terms of dishes, this Mechado recipe is a favorite in the Philippines.
If you only have a few minutes to prepare mechado, I recommend using chicken meat, which is faster to cook. Also, use both red and green bell peppers to enhance the flavor and texture of the dish and make it more appetizing.
