This just takes a few minutes of prep and you have an aromatic, flavorful, very enjoyable dinner on the table in no time. Yuca may be a vegetable that many of you haven’t used yet. But you should…it’s a very filling starchy vegetable that’s similar to a sweet potato in its makeup and properties, and it has a bit of a nutty taste. When I made this, I peeled and cut fresh yuca, but for those of you who want convenience, it is now available from B’gan in the freezer section of kosher groceries in the chopped form.
2 pounds dark chicken cutlets (you can use white meat if you prefer)
2 large yuca, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons Tio Pepe Light Sherry or other sherry or cooking wine
3 cloves garlic, crushed or 3 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
1/2 cup Manischewitz Chicken Broth
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon thyme (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place the cleaned cutlets and the yuca chunks in a baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, sherry, garlic, chicken broth, oregano, basil, thyme, salt, paprika, and pepper.
Pour mixture over the cutlets and yuca. Cover tightly and bake for 45 minutes.
