Start by turning on the stove to high heat.

Add approximately 2 tablespoons of oil to the pot or pan.

Once the oil is hot, sauté the green onion and white onion with a pinch of salt until they become transparent.

Add minced garlic and stir for a couple of turns until it browns.

Incorporate diced tomatoes and mix well.

Add the tomato sauce, sugar, coriander, and cumin in small amounts to avoid overpowering the dish.

Let this mixture sauté for about 2 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Add the corn if using, then add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated with the sauce.

Do not add any water; this dish will cook in the natural juices of the chicken.

Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cover the pot.

After 15 minutes, check the chicken; it should have changed from pink to white, indicating it is sealed.

Add diced potatoes and yucca, ensuring they are mixed in, even if they are not fully submerged.

Continue to cook for another 15 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking.

After about 40-45 minutes, check if the potatoes and yucca are cooked through.

Let the dish sit for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken to the desired texture.

Serve over a banana leaf or in a delicious fiambre.
