Continue to cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Serve with steamed rice.

** I used 5 boneless chicken thighs and a one pint of whole chopped tomatoes as that was all I had. Loved it. Original recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of peppercorns. We had to pick those out. If you wish it more spicy, add more pepper or even a dash of hot sauce.
