  • 1bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cupGoya Spanish-style tomato sauce
  • 1 TbspGoya Adobo
  • 1 tspBadia oregano
  • 1Badia bay leaves
  • 1 cupwater
  • 3 cupsGoya yellow rice, cooked, to serve

How to make it

  1. 1

    For the yellow rice: rinse 1½ cups Goya yellow rice (or white rice plus 1 packet Goya Sazón). Combine with 2¼ cups water. Boil, cover, low heat 20 minutes. Rest 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Pat the chicken thighs dry. Season all over with the Goya Adobo. Peel and dice the onion. Dice the bell pepper. Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Keep the potatoes in water so they don’t brown.

  3. 3

    Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a heavy pot over medium-high. Brown the chicken 4 minutes a side, in batches if needed. Set aside.

  4. 4

    In the same pot cook the onion and pepper 4 minutes until soft. Stir in oregano. Return the chicken. Add tomato sauce, bay leaf, and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Cover and cook 20 minutes on medium-low. Drain the potatoes, add them, and cook 12–15 minutes more until a knife slides through the potato and the chicken is cooked through (165°).

  6. 6

    Discard the bay leaf. Serve the stew over the yellow rice.
