Chicken in Its Own Juice
Salsa de Frijol Negro y AguacatePollo en su JugoJust the name of this popular dish from Guadalajara made me want to try it. For the best flavor, use all the chicken parts for this simple stovetop dish. Serve with good bread or tortillas to sop up the wonderful juices. Mexican Rice or Corn and Cabbage go well with the chicken. A bottle of hot sauce or a small bowl of red or green salsa is usually on the table to add to the chicken.
