Pollo Guisado/Carne Guisada

Love Mexican food? Well, you'll LOVE this recipe! Pollo Guisado translates to stewed "chicken in gravy."

My kids call it "the best stew ever!" 😆

Simple & delicious! 😋

Traditionally it's made with beef stew meat, but we swapped this for ground chicken.

We top it with cilantro, sliced avocado & serve over rice or quinoa & a big side of veggies or salad. You can also scoop this goodness into tortillas & add your favorite toppings!

A great option for Taco Tuesday tomorrow! (You're welcome! 😉 )

This recipe has been on rotation in our home for years!

We modified a My Heart Beets recipe to use ground chicken and arrowroot powder to thicken instead of the potato starch.

Hope you enjoy it! 🙌🏽
