Springer Mountain Farms: Georgia Sudado Recipe

Happy Wednesday friends! Today I have a very delicious recipe to share with you featuring Springer Mountain Farms, a Georgia-based producer of antibiotic- and hormone-free chicken. This recipe is very dear to me because I actually grew up eating something similar to it. I changed it up a bit but it is very similar to Colombian sudado.

For those of you who do not know- I was born in Colombia, South America but moved to the USA when I was two years old. Not wanting us to forget our culture, my Mom cooked Colombian food and spoke Spanish to us at home. Contrary to popular belief, Colombian food is not spicy at all. Colombians eat a well-rounded diet consisting of fresh vegetables, starches, fruits and lots of meat. One of our favorite meats is chicken! This recipe is a healthy option because it provides you with healthy fats, vegetables and grains.

As mentioned before, this recipe is made with Georgia based Springer Mountain Farms chicken. Name sound familiar? It’s probably because you’ve seen their name on menus throughout Atlanta and other parts of the United States. Springer Mountain Farms is a family owned business that has been raising chickens for over 40 years. They built the company on strong values and kindred relationships within the farming community, and all of the farmers take great pride in what they do. Farmers with up to forty years of experience and third generation families contribute hundreds of years of wisdom to raising the finest chicken on the market today.

Over the years, they have studied and learned a great deal about the benefits of better animal care, better living conditions, and more stringent biosecurity practices. That enabled Springer Mountain Farms to become the first poultry producer in the world to gain the endorsement of the American Humane Association under their American Humane Certified program. With that extra care, our chickens are raised on a vegetarian diet without the use of antibiotics.

So lets dive into this delicious recipe!
