| 2. | add some garlic and salt and adobo |
| 3. | let the chicken brown, turning it from time to time to allow all the sides to brown |
| 4. | once all the chicken pieces are a golden brown, add about 2 cups of water and turn the heat up |
| 5. | once the water is boiling add the tomato paste and the peanut butter |
| 6. | turn to allow the tomato and peanut butter to be uniformly distributed |
| 7. | add the chopped green pepper, if using one |
| 8. | turn the heat on medium and let the soup cook. This is the step where your chicken will cook, so make sure to allow enough time (20-25min). |
