Drizzle diced chicken breast with extra virgin olive oil.

Add Goya adobo seasoning, dry oregano flakes, and ground black pepper to the chicken.

Mix the chicken with the seasonings and add homemade sofrito; cover with plastic wrap and marinate for at least an hour.

Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add marinated chicken; cook until halfway done.

Add tomato sauce, bay leaf, chopped red bell pepper, baby carrots, and red skin potatoes to the pan.

Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients about three-quarters of the way.

Mix everything and add chicken bouillon and Goya sazón with culantro.

Cover and cook for about 40 minutes until potatoes are tender.
