How to Cook Chicken Caldereta

Chicken caldereta is a savoury dish that is perfect for your lunch or dinner! Learn the recipe here!

Kaldereta or caldereta is commonly mistaken for either afritada or menudo because they are all tomato-based stew. Their colors are the same. But they taste differently. They are commonly served during festivities and celebrations, but you can also find them in carinderias selling packed meals.

Caldereta is traditionally a goat meat stew. However, other meat, such as beef, pork, and chicken, can also be used. In this recipe, we use chicken because it is readily available and inexpensive. Together with tomatoes, potatoes, olives, and bell peppers are also added. Tomato sauce is also normally used to intensify that tomato flavor. Are you wondering where the name of this dish came from? It is derived from the Spanish word caldera, which means cauldron. In the Philippines, it is called kaldero.
