Chicken afritada is one of the many Filipino tomato based stew. In this case, it is a tomato based chicken stew. Obviously the name of the dish has some Spanish origin like many other Filipino cuisine with tomato sauce like the calderata or menudo. This dish contains vegetables like potatoes, carrots, bell pepper, green peas or chick peas and of course to make it more savory, grated cheese was added. One advantage of cooking this dish is the less cooking time involved because it uses chicken meat instead of red meat like pork or beef. You can use almost any parts of the chicken depending on your preference.
