1.Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat and brown the chicken on all sides. Remove the chicken and set aside.
2.Sauté the vegetables: In the same pot, add the onions, garlic, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Cook until the vegetables are softened and aromatic, about 5-7 minutes.
3.Simmer the stew: Add the chicken broth, thyme, cumin, and bay leaves to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Return the browned chicken to the pot, cover, and let it simmer for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
4.Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the succulent stewed chicken over rice, mashed potatoes, or with crusty bread.
Enjoy this cozy, comforting dish!
