Rich & Hearty Chicken Caldereta Recipe : A Filipino Comfort Classic!

This vibrant dish combines tender chicken, colorful vegetables, and a luxurious tomato-based sauce enriched with liver spread for that signature Filipino touch!

Why This Chicken Caldereta Recipe Stands Out

🍗 Upgraded Comfort Food – Chicken version of the classic beef caldereta
🍅 Flavor Bomb Sauce – Tomato base + liver spread = ultra-savory depth
🥔 One-Pot Wonder – Protein, veggies, and sauce all in one glorious dish

The Secret to Authentic Flavor

✨ Liver Spread – The magic ingredient that adds richness (use Reno or homemade)
🌶️ Bell Peppers & Olives – For that classic caldereta character
🧀 Optional Cheese – Some versions add cheddar for extra creaminess

Serving Suggestions

🍚 Best with hot rice – To soak up every drop of that luscious sauce
🥖 Great with crusty bread – For a Spanish-inspired twist
🍷 Pairs well with red wine – If you want to be fancy!

Pro Tip: For extra depth, add a splash of soy sauce and bay leaves during simmering!

This isn’t just stew – it’s a bowl of Filipino love that tastes like home! ❤️🍗

2. Pre-heat cooking oil in a pan. Pan fry sliced potatoes and carrots, then set aside.

3. Pan fry chicken meat. Cook on medium heat for at least 1 minute, then set aside.

4. In the same pan, saute the minced garlic, onion and tomato. Add the pan-fried chicken and pour in the tomato sauce and water. Cover and simmer until the chicken meat is tender.

5. Add chicken broth cubes. You may use any broth cube brand (I used Knorr cubes). Add liver spread (any brand) and the sliced potatoes and carrots, pan fried earlier. Add sliced red and green bell peppers and chopped red and green chili peppers.

6. Season with salt and ground black pepper. Add grated cheese, mix well and continue cooking for 2 minutes.
