Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 g chicken thighs or breast, cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 potatoes, cubed

Instructions

  1. Sauté the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the cubed chicken. Sear for 4–5 minutes until golden brown, developing a delicious crust. Set the chicken aside.

  4. Combine the ingredients: Pour in the can of diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir in dried thyme, paprika, and bay leaf. Bring this concoction to a gentle boil.
  5. Simmer and savor: Lower the heat and let the stew simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes.
  6. Add zucchini and green beans: Toss in the chopped zucchini and green beans, letting them cook for an additional 10 minutes until tender.
  7. Season and serve: Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the bay leaf, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm!
