Calabacita con Pollo Recipe – How to Make My Mom's Mexican Comfort Food (Chicken & Mexican Squash)

I love it when Momma Tex is cooking with you Arnie, she always steals the show! Gotta love Terri coming to the rescue with la espatula! 😂😂

LOVE HER! “However much i pour” YES lol sounds like my grandma when she tried to teach me lol. RIP gma 🌹

Aww give Momma a hug & kiss for me, you're so lucky to still have her around...

I was president of a billards league with about 150 members, and at the season end party, they were begging for my grandmother's rice, beans, and chicken en mole. ❤️ 🙏

Reminds me of cooking with my mom in the kitchen 😂 I'm an accomplished cook, but as soon as she is involved, I instantly become the assistant 💯

she’s sassy 😂

A good friend gave me this recipe years ago. We like a lot of broth and serve it with rice. You and your mom are so cute when you’re cooking.

as a tejana who loves to cook and doesn’t live in texas anymore, your videos are like gold to me! i make this dish a lot, just like my grandmother made for me growing up. mama tex reminds me so much of her!

Just a little tip that my mommy taught me we would add two whole Chile Serranos when you cover the Calabazita with the lid that way when you want a little spice, you just grab one of the chile Serranos cut it up in your dish bowl and we serve ours with Mexican rice because it goes Great with the Calavasita broth Yum Yum 😋😀👏♥️🌻🌹

I've really come to love your videos. I love how your mom measures, "as much as I put"! My dad worked in Mexico for 15 yrs. The beautiful women taught me to make empanadas, I was a very lucky 9 year old gringa! Never measured anything, while preparing the masa. It was all in how it feels. They had me make it over and over again, over several visits. "No!" They would say, "make it again"! I think at some point I got it right, but if they were teaching me something so special, they wanted to make darn sure. So I was looked over while I practiced and practiced. Then I went home and practiced more to make them proud. My family ate a lot of empanadas that year😂 I don't measure when I make it, I use my Mexican love heart, the only measurement needed ❤️ Thank you for sharing such wonderful foods.

Man I love your channel and even more when momma is involved!! Family is everything!

Yo mama amazing woman be very proud to have her I'm so proud that I have still have my Mamacita in my life

I learned how to make this dish from my Abuela. For our version we lightly coat the chicken in flour so it thickens up the caldo a little. For my own twist I add some cilantro after it's done and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve it up in a bowl with a lime wedge and some corn tortillas.

Arnie. I just want to start off by saying God Bless you and your Family. my name is Jay and I live in Oklahoma. Big Fan of your channel. It almost got to me see you cook with your Mom and put a Smile on my face. because me and my mom used to cook together sometimes before she passed away. take every chance you can get to cook with Momma and that's what I tell my sons because some day you will no longer get that chance. would love to see more vids like this wonderful to see family's enjoying life and food that brings us all Home. Keep them coming lol .

Reminds me of my Mom and Abuelita cooking dinner for everyone. Great video!

Omgosh, with a spoonful of red rice! I'm drooling😮

You and your mom are really sweet! I'm new to your channel, but you remind me of one of my uncles, so Thank you uncle Arnie! + mom. 🥰😁🤗❤

I’ve made this twice since you posted this video. Each time it’s been great. Thank you and Mom for it.

Your Mom is awesome!

I'm glad to see you cooking with your momma, she has a lot of tricks and lessons to share 😉
