Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons cooking oil

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 large carrot, sliced

  • 2 cups water
  • ½ (6-ounce) can of tomato paste
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon cumin

Directions
  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken to the pan, season with salt and black pepper to taste, and sear for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden.
  2. Add the onion, carrot, and bell peppers to the skillet. Season with salt to taste and cook for 5-7 minutes until crisp-tender.

  4. Serve the chicken immediately, garnished with parsley and alongside rice or pasta.
