For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken in the pot before adding the water. Adjust the amount of salt to your preference. It's always best to start with less and add more to taste. Fresh corn kernels can be used in place of canned corn for a sweeter, more vibrant flavor. If you can't find yuca, you can substitute with sweet potatoes or more potatoes.
