Sancocho is a hearty and comforting chicken and vegetable stew that is often considered Panama's national dish. It is made by simmering chicken pieces with a variety of root vegetables such as yuca, plantains, and corn, along with herbs and spices. The long cooking process allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in a rich and flavorful broth. Sancocho is typically served with a side of white rice and avocado slices.
