Blend the cilantro and parsley with half of the chicken stock.
Rub the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and cumin.
Brown the chicken in olive oil for 8 minutes.
Chop the yellow onion, garlic, and green pepper and fry them in the same pot for 5 minutes.
Add the green sauce, remaining chicken stock, and carrot.
Return the chicken to the pot and cook the seco de pollo for 28 minutes.
Add the peas, cook for 6 more minutes, and serve hot.
💡 Tip: If the cilantro flavor feels too strong, replace one third of the puree with parsley; the color stays bright and the aroma comes closer to Turkish tastes.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve seco de pollo with plain rice pilaf and optional boiled dried beans.
