Heat oil in a large casserole over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and tender, about 5 minutes.

Add the sliced green bell pepper and minced garlic to the pot. Continue sautéing for another 2 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent the garlic from burning.

5
Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiled, reduce the heat to low, cover the casserole with a lid, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
6
Once cooked, adjust seasoning if necessary before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
