Add potatoes and carrots
Dominican pollo guisado usually skips potatoes and carrots and sticks to just bell peppers, but for this baked version, adding potatoes and carrots just works. The carrots soak up all the delicious sauce, while the potatoes help thicken it, making them the perfect additions to the dish.
Use the marinating bowl throughout every step
Keep using the marinating bowl as you go. It makes everything so much easier and tastier. After you marinate the chicken, toss your veggies in the same bowl so they soak up all that leftover seasoning. Then, when it is time to mix the water and tomato sauce, do it right in the bowl to grab every last bit of flavor.
