This is a Filipino take on the viral Marry Me Chicken, inspired by Afritada, a tangy tomato-based stew. Chicken thighs are cooked with garlic, onions, and a variety of vegetables like bell peppers, potatoes, and carrots. A twist is added with coconut cream for a smooth texture. This dish is delicious served over white rice and promises to impress anyone at the dinner table.
