Step 1: Drizzle a small amount of oil over clean chicken that has been patted dry. Season with chicken seasoning and tropical sazón. Step 2: In a large Dutch pot on medium heat, add oil. When hot, sear the chicken for about 3 minutes on all sides, then remove chicken from the pot. Step 3: Lower the heat to medium. Sauté onion and garlic for 1 minute until translucent and fragrant. Stir in sofrito/green seasoning, then stir in tomato paste. Step 4: Season the pot with the remaining chicken seasoning, tropical sazón, and the chicken bouillon cube. Step 5: Add the chicken back to the pot with enough chicken stock to cover the meat. Cover the pot and let cook for 15 minutes. Step 6: Add potatoes, carrots, and cilantro. Cover and continue cooking for 15 minutes. Step 7: Add bell peppers (and olives if desired). Cover and cook for 15 more minutes. If there is too much liquid, continue cooking uncovered on a slightly higher heat. Step 8: Turn off the heat and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
