Add the chicken to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until fully seared. Turn the chicken pieces and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes, or until fully seared. Add tomato paste, onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the pot and combine. Add 2 cups of water to the pot and let the chicken cook for 10 minutes, covered. Cook for an additional 10 minutes uncovered, adding ½ cup water if the sauce begins to dry out. Taste for salt and serve. Buen provecho!View original recipe
