Drain the bouillon with a strainer and keep the liquid.

In a sauce pan on medium high heat, fry you chicken. Do not deep fry. The oil should only touch a quarter of the chicken. Stir often to make sure that the chicken pieces is fried all around. Set those pieces aside.

In that same oil, sauté the onions, green onions and peppers.

When softened, add the tomatoes and crushed them with your wooden spoon.
