I went through many versions of pollo asado bowl before sticking with this recipe. I used to make it in the slow cooker but we burned out on that pretty quick.
This pollo asado bowl recipe started out as something for grill night, which works great. But soon I discovered I can cook it in the oven and it turns out nice and juicy. I often double the recipe to have chicken bowls all week.
In my meal plan I call them chicken fiesta bowls with beans and my no-fail Spanish rice. But you can also do tacos or burritos. The sky’s the limit.
Anyone else making something like this?
