Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the onion, garlic, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, carrot, and tomatoes into small pieces.

  3. 3

    Gather Ingredients

    Measure out chicken broth, cumin, and bay leaf.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent. Then add the red and green bell peppers and carrot, cooking for another 3 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, cumin, and bay leaf. Cook for another 2 minutes until the tomatoes begin to break down.

  4. 7

    Combine and Simmer

    Pour in the chicken broth and return the browned chicken thighs to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  5. 8

    Finish with Cilantro

    Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the fresh cilantro just before serving for added flavor.

Serving Suggestions
