This Filipino Chicken Menudo is a beloved stew that has been cherished for generations. While variations abound, this recipe adds a twist by incorporating sweet Longanisa sausage instead of traditional hot dogs, enhancing the dish's flavor. The chicken is seared with garlic and onions, combined with tomatoes and pineapple juice, and braised with sweet and savory seasonings. The addition of roasted vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers rounds out the dish beautifully, making it a perfect meal served with hot white rice.
