Chicken and Potatoes in Tomato Sauce

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb chicken thighs
• 1 lb potatoes
• 2 cups tomato sauce
• 1 medium onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• ¼ cup cilantro

Instructions

1. 1

   Season the 1.5 lb chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

2. 2

   Add the chicken skin-side down and cook until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, add the 1 sliced onion and 3 minced garlic cloves. Cook over medium heat until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

4. 4

   Stir in the 2 cups tomato sauce, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

5. 5

   Add the 1 lb cubed potatoes and return the chicken to the skillet. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.

6. 6

   Uncover and simmer for 5 more minutes to thicken the sauce slightly. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.

7. 7

   Garnish with the 0.25 cup chopped cilantro and serve hot.
