  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, cored and diced
1 green bell pepper, cored and diced
2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon oregano
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, salt and pepper, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Add the onion, garlic, bell peppers, and potatoes to the pot and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth and oregano and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
