About the dish

Pollo a la granadina is a traditional Andalusian dish originating from Granada. It’s made with a combination of chicken pieces, Trevélez ham (jamón de Trevélez), white wine, tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, onions, nutmeg, and bay leaves. The chicken pieces are cooked with garlic, onions, and Trevélez ham. Tomatoes, white wine, nutmeg, bay leaves, and water are added to the pot, and the chicken is slowly simmered until it becomes tender and the sauce is reduced. Pollo a la granadina is especially popular during the cold winter months, and it’s often served with bread on the side. It can be found in most bars and restaurants in the area, where it’s served for lunch.
