Steps:
- In a large stockpot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook for 3 minutes, until the onions are soft.
- Add the chicken pieces and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is no longer raw on the outside.
- Stir in the potatoes, carrots, chicken broth, spaghetti sauce, soy sauce, sugar, black pepper, and bay leaves. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
- Add the bell peppers. Continue cooking for another 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Remove the afritada from the heat. Stir in the fish sauce, if using, and serve hot with the rice.
