Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Searing the Chicken

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sautéing Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, bell pepper, and sliced carrots. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

  3. 3

    Adding Potatoes and Broth

    Add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, bay leaves, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the pot. Stir well.

  4. 4

    Simmering

    Return the seared chicken to the pot. Cover and simmer on low heat for 30-35 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  5. 5

    Finishing Touches

    Remove the bay leaves. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
