    Step1

    Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic until fragrant. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned on all sides.

    Stir in the chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce, and liver spread. Cook for a few minutes until the mixture is well combined.

    Step3

    Pour in the water or chicken broth, soy sauce, and fish sauce (if using). Add the bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir in the potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and green peas. Continue to simmer until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
