Yield 4 People

Number Of Ingredients 13

drumsticks, or about 1/2 a chicken
Fideos (Fidelini noodles), 10 oz bag Ã¢ÂÂ you should be able to find these in the Latino/Hispanic food aisle at your local Walmart or can even purchase them on Walmart.com
Potatoes, about 3 medium, rinsed, peeled, and chopped into eighths
Carrots, about 10 baby carrots
Adobo
Meat tenderizer
4 cups water
SazÃÂ³n, 1/2 packet
1 Tbsp sofrito
1 Tbsp tomato paste
2 Tbsp tomato sauce
1/2 Tbsp cooking oil
Salt to taste

Steps:

Season chicken with adobo and meat tenderizer. Add chicken to large pot with water, sazÃÂ³n, sofrito, tomato paste, tomato sauce, oil, and salt. Cook on medium heat until chicken is somewhat tender. Add carrots and continue cooking on medium heat until carrots are tender, about 30-35 minutes. Add potatoes and continue cooking on medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Add noodles and raise heat to medium-high heat. Cook about 10 minutes until noodles are cooked and broth thickens a bit. Keep an eye on the pot Ã¢ÂÂ if the broth thickens enough, but noodles arenÃ¢ÂÂt cooked, lower heat again to medium and simmer longer.
