Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add 1.5 lb chicken thighs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
In the same pot, add 1 sliced onion and 3 minced garlic cloves. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in 2 cups tomato sauce, 2 diced potatoes, and 2 sliced carrots. Return chicken to the pot and add 1 cup water.
Step 4
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Serve hot with rice. For extra flavor, stir in 1 tbsp soy sauce or fish sauce before serving if you have it.
