For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces. Remove the skin before serving if desired. Feel free to add other vegetables like peas or green beans for extra nutrition and color. Serve hot over steamed rice for a complete and satisfying meal. A sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or cilantro adds a touch of freshness. For a pork variation, substitute the chicken with pork shoulder cut into 1-inch cubes.

01
Step
3 mins
Heat oil in a large wok or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in chopped tomatoes; cook, mashing with a fork, until the tomatoes break down and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
02
Step
5 mins
Add chicken to the wok; cook and stir until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Pour in water; cover and bring to a gentle boil. Stir in tomato sauce; reduce heat and simmer gently until the chicken is nearly cooked through and the flavors meld, about 15 minutes.
03
Step
5 mins
Add potatoes to the wok; continue to simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in bell pepper and carrot; simmer until the vegetables are softened but still retain a slight crispness, about 5 minutes. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Jun 19, 2025This is a great recipe! I've made it several times and it always turns out perfect. I sometimes add a can of garbanzo beans for extra protein.

Feb 19, 2025I found the sauce a little too thin, so I added a cornstarch slurry at the end and it thickened up nicely. Overall, a very tasty dish!
