Sudado de Pollo is a delicious Colombian stew made with chicken, potatoes, and tomatoes. It was Izabela (@lucaholguin_), who first introduced me to this tasty dish from her home country, and it soon became a favorite among my husband and my kids. Sudado de Pollo is really easy to make, and you only need a handful of ingredients, which you probably already have in your fridge. I usually serve Sudado de Pollo with garlic rice, but you can also serve it with plain white rice.
