Notes
Adding a little hot pepper gives this dish a little more zip.
Zapallo is the word for squash, zucchini and pumpkin -any of those can be used- and depending on nationality you may use marrow or courgettes.
Instead of chicken, this can also be made with 2 pounds beef brisket or flank steak. Be sure to chop the meat, and increase the amount of vegetables.
