1 bulb garlic, peeled
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons olive oil
10 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, or more to taste

Steps:

Combine tomatoes, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, Cubanelle pepper, onion, garlic, and cilantro in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Set aside 1 cup of sofrito for the recipe and save the rest for another use.
