Re: Sofrito Chicken Stew

I made this today and it was so delicious! I didn't have the ingredients for homemade sofrito, so I used the one in the jar that I had. I also used boneless thighs, since my husband bought them by accident instead of breasts. It is definitely a keeper for us! Thanks for the recipe!
