Where to find ingredients
Chicken thighs, garlic, onions, tomatoes, bay leaves, oregano, chili flakes, chicken broth, and fresh herbs are commonly found in most supermarkets in the produce, meat, and spice sections. Vinegar and vegetable oil are standard pantry staples available in most grocery stores. Look for fresh herbs in the produce section. If you can't find chili flakes, you can substitute with red pepper flakes. For specialty Brazilian ingredients or a wider selection of fresh herbs, consider visiting Latin or Brazilian specialty markets.

- Sprinkle the oregano and chili flakes (if using) over the ingredients in the pan
