Cooking Steps
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add the chicken, beef, and pork. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme. Sauté for about 10 minutes until browned.
  2. In a separate pan, heat oil and add chopped onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until onions are translucent.

  4. Pour in the water, deglaze the pot, and bring to a boil over high heat.

  6. Add diced potatoes, sliced plantain, and corn chunks into the pot. Stir gently to combine.
  7. Cover and let the stew simmer for an additional 30-40 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
  9. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
