Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Working in batches if needed, sear chicken pieces 2 minutes per side until golden. Remove to a plate.
Step 3
Add garlic to the skillet, stir for 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in tomato paste until it coats the bottom.
Step 4
Pour in broth and soy sauce, scraping up any browned bits. Return chicken to the skillet with potatoes and bell pepper.
Step 5
Cover and simmer over medium heat for 12 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender and chicken is cooked through.
Step 6
Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot with rice on the side.
