Instructions
Chicken
Rinse chicken and pat dry. Sprinkle on the salt, ground black pepper, garlic and ginger. Mix well to ensure the seasoning coats the chicken.
Heat oil in a dutch oven and on high heat for 3 minutes. Place the chicken in the pot, skin side down then let it cook for 5 minutes. Turn to the other side and let it cook for 3 minutes. Remove chicken from pot.
Potatoes
In the leftover fat in the pot, saute the onions until fragrant. About 3 minutes.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they shrink. About 10 minutes.
To the pot, add the potatoes, 4 cups of water, the salt, the garlic powder, the black pepper and the bouillon powder. Stir well to combine then add back the chicken to the pot.
Cover and place in the oven to cook for about 30 minutes until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Notes
I used russet potatoes in this recipe for that perfect creamy texture. I also used my cast iron pot since because it works well for starting cooking on the stovetop and finishing in the oven. If you do not have an oven-safe pot, place everything in an oven-safe bowl and bake.
