Instructions

Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat and brown the chicken on all sides, then remove and set aside.
In the same pot, sauté onions, bell peppers, and garlic until softened.
Stir in oregano, cumin, and bay leaves, cooking for another minute.
Add tomato sauce and chicken broth, then return the chicken to the pot.
Bring to a simmer, then add carrots and potatoes, and cook covered for 30 minutes.
Uncover, add olives, and simmer for an additional 15 minutes, or until the stew thickens and vegetables are tender.
Remove the bay leaves, garnish with cilantro, and serve hot.
