Marinate chicken with lime juice, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper for at least 30 minutes.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add marinated chicken to the skillet and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add sliced onions, bell peppers, and garlic; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in tomato sauce and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.

Return chicken to the skillet and add bay leaves and green olives.

Cover and simmer on low heat for 30-40 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and tender.

Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
