This Cheesy Chicken Afritada is a richer version of my favorite Filipino chicken afritada. I added a good amount of shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the dish. It made an unexpected difference in a good way. The dish tasted better.

I liked how the taste of the sauce. There is a good harmony of flavor between the cheese, bell pepper, tomato sauce, and chicken. There is one ingredient that I wished could have been added – hotdogs. It won’t have a huge impact to the dish flavor wise. However, I think that adding this ingredient can help the dish be more attractive to kids visually. This can be helpful to mom’s who are trying to find ways on how to increase their child’s appetite.
