In a large pot, saute in oil the onions, garlic and
peppers. Stir for a few minutes and then add the
chicken. Continue to braise the chicken.
Add the seasonings, Sazon and the olives (about 10)
Add enough chicken broth and water (2:1 ratio)
halfway to 3/4 of the pot and add the can of tomato paste.

Once the liquid starts to boil, cover and simmer
for a couple of hours.
(If you cook in a dutch oven you can
place in oven @ 300º F. for two hours instead
of on stovetop).

Serve on a large platter with white rice and
hot sauce on the side.
This dish tastes even better the next day.
