Chicken Menudo

Chicken menudo tomato based dish and a variation of pork menudo and resembles chicken afritada because of one ingredient, the bell peppers. Pork menudo doesn’t have bell peppers. Cooking is almost the same on the dishes I’ve mentioned and it is easier.

One advantage of cooking chicken dish compared to pork dishes is the shorter time needed to cook it. Chicken is also healthier compared to pork. In cooking this chicken menudo, if you don’t like to include chicken liver, you can use liver spread. In the pork menudo dish, it is tastier to include the pork liver so the same thing as in chicken menudo.
