2 red peppers, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 bunch cilantro, minced

1
Rub the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and half of the garlic.
2
In a large dutch oven heat half of the oil. Add the chicken and cook over medium high heat for about five minutes on each side, or until slightly browned. Remove chicken from the pot.
3
Add the remaining oil to the pot and begin to saute the onion, pepper, celery, and ham over low heat. Once the onion is soft add the garlic and half the cilantro. Cook for about 10 minutes.

Add tomatoes, tomato paste, water or stock, and seasonings. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until bubbling.

Add chicken, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until chicken is tender.
