  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 kg chicken pieces (thighs or drumsticks)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced into rounds
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup green peas
  • 2 medium tomatoes, grated or finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, sauté the chopped onion for about 3 minutes until soft.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  5. Add carrots, bell peppers, and potatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in the grated tomatoes and tomato paste and mix well.
  7. Return the chicken to the pot and pour in the chicken broth.
  8. Season with paprika, salt, black pepper, cumin, and add the bay leaf.
  9. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 35 minutes.
  10. Add the green peas and cook for another 10 minutes until vegetables are tender and chicken is fully cooked.
  11. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then sprinkle chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Bone-in chicken adds more flavor to the broth.
  • You can add zucchini, green beans, or mushrooms for additional vegetables.
  • Mash a few potatoes in the stew if you prefer a thicker texture.
  • A squeeze of lemon juice before serving brightens the flavor.
  • This stew tastes even better the next day as the flavors develop.
