I lived in the Dominican Republic and one of the things they all seem to
cook is a chicken recipe cooked down in a skillet. I just loved it, but I
have yet to find a recipe. I even bought a Caribbean cookbook, but it was
not the same. All I know for sure is they had cilantro in it. Man my mouth
is watering! Anybody know what I am talking about? Or, how it is prepared
and seasoned? Just grasping at straws.......

I checked out the link, but that was not it at all. The recipe I am looking
for is very simple.
It is pretty much just a chicken cut up and cooked down in a skillet. It is
the way it was seasoned that I am looking for. It is the recipe the poor
people make almost every day all over the Dominican Republic. At least when
they have chicken anyway. I will keep looking.

Thanks

Perhaps something like this? This specific recipe is for grilled
chicken but have a look at the marinade ingredients. You could do
this in a skillet.
