instructions
    1

    Start by gathering all your ingredients and prepping them. Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces, chop the carrot, bell pepper, onion, and tomatoes, and mince the garlic.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned.

    3

    Add the chopped onion, garlic, and carrot to the skillet. Sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.

    4

    Next, stir in the diced bell pepper and tomatoes, cooking for an additional 3 minutes.

    5

    Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth, and sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of cumin, along with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

    6

    If the sauce becomes too thick, add a bit more broth or water. Once it's cooked through and flavorful, remove it from heat.

    7

    Serve the Pollo en Salsa de Verduras hot, preferably with rice or tortillas.
