Instructions

  1. 1 Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add pork chops; cook until no longer pink in center, about 4 minutes per side. Cool until easy to handle, about 5 minutes; cut into bite-sized cubes.
  2. 2 Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same saucepan. Add cubed pork, calabaza squash, corn, onion, tomatoes, and garlic; cook until onion translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic powder; stir in chicken stock and simmer, covered, until flavors combined, about 2 hours, stirring and checking periodically to see if more stock needed.

Instructions

  1. 1 Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add chicken thighs. Continue to boil until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain, reserving 2 cups broth. Shred or chop chicken and set aside.
  2. 2 Mix salt, garlic powder, cumin, and black pepper together in a bowl and set aside.
  3. 3 Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add calabaza squash, zucchini, yellow squash, tomato, and onion. Cook and stir until tender, about 10 minutes. Add corn, followed by tomato sauce, dry spice mixture, and chicken. Pour in reserved 2 cups chicken broth. Mix well.
  4. 4 Cover the pan and let simmer over medium heat, 20 to 30 minutes.
