Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, mix chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prep the Vegetables

    Chop the onions, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, bell pepper, and cilantro. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.

  2. 4

    Brown the Chicken

    Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, approximately 10 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they start breaking down, about 5 minutes. Then, add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.

  4. 6

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  5. 7

    Finish with Bell Pepper and Cilantro

    Add the chopped bell pepper and cilantro to the pot, stir, and cook for another 5 minutes.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish
