Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into strips
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
ground black pepper to taste
1 clove garlic, minced
½ (32 ounce) package frozen steak-cut French fries
½ tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, sliced lengthwise
1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
1 aji pepper, minced
3 Roma tomatoes, sliced lengthwise and seeds removed

Steps:

  • Place chicken strips in a resealable plastic bag with soy sauce, vinegar, paprika, cumin, black pepper, and garlic. Seal bag and shake up to cover chicken completely. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes and as long as 24 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Arrange frozen fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until light golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large wok on high heat. Add the marinated chicken. Cook, flipping pieces occasionally, until mostly white on the surface, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add onion, bell pepper, and aji pepper to the wok with the chicken. Continue stir-frying until onions are slightly translucent but still hold their shape, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Arrange baked fries on plates and place the chicken stir-fry on top.

This dish was delicious! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were still slightly crunchy. The sauce was flavorful and not too spicy. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pollo saltado turned out bland and watery. I'll have to try a different recipe.

This dish was a disappointment. The sauce was too salty and the chicken was overcooked. I won't be making this again.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the vegetables were tasty. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This pollo saltado was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. I especially loved the tangy sauce. Will definitely be making this again.
