Tasty, easy to prepare, and quite inexpensive, cazuela de ave is a Chilean chicken stew consisting of chicken pieces, chicken stock, onions, carrots, pumpkin or squash, potatoes, rice, and pieces of corn. The stew is most commonly flavored with garlic, salt, pepper, coriander, and paprika powder.
After it has been prepared, cazuela de ave is traditionally served in a red clay pot known as
greda. The succulent chicken should fall off the bone, while the vegetables should be sweet and soft, almost melting in the mouth. It is believed that this dish was derived from the indigenous Mapuche soup known as
corri.
