Healthy Filipino Recipe for Chicken Afritada—Awesome for Weight Loss!

Chicken afritada is a classic Filipino recipe, the kind of thing you’d see served all over the Philippines. My healthy version of this Filipino recipe is made with chicken (sometimes you’ll see it made with beef or pork), and you can control the amount of carbs by leaving out or reducing the amount of potatoes in the afritada.

So I decided to come up with a new way to cook my family’s dirty rice recipe that makes it healthy without sacrificing flavor. The result was so good that my family now prefers it over the original recipe.
