Pollo Guisado (Puerto Rican Chicken Stew) | Recipe

Illyanna Maisonet, a former San Francisco Chronicle food columnist (and the first Puerto Rican food columnist for a major publication in the United States), recently published her first cookbook, Diasporican. This easy, full-flavored classic Puerto Rican stew with chicken, vegetables and green olives—called pollo guisado in Spanish—is one of her favorites.  

"I make this dish all the time and yet, I never tire of it. Sometimes I use pork, sometimes I use chicken, and very infrequently I use beef. This could easily become a part of your regular weeknight meal rotation." — Illyanna
