Step 1
Season the 1.5 lb chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pot over medium-high and brown the chicken until golden on both sides, about 6 minutes total. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
In the same pot, add the 1 sliced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook until soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the 1 cup tomato sauce and 1 cup water. Return the chicken to the pot, bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Add the 1 lb potatoes (cut into chunks) and simmer uncovered until potatoes are tender and sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Stir in the 0.25 cup chopped cilantro and serve.
