Ingredients:

1 kg chicken (the whole cut in pieces or only legs and wings pieces)

1 rash of bacon

¼ cup oil

2  big onions chopped

3 big carrots thinly sliced

2 red capsicums chopped

2 yellow capsicums chopped

4 cloves of garlic chopped

1 fresh tomato chopped

2 tbs tomato paste

2 tbs sweet ground paprika

Bunch of parsley

Salt and pepper to taste

½ l water or chicken stock

Method:

On a grill or in a pan fry bacon rash and chicken pieces until golden. Put aside.

In the cooking pot on heated oil stew onion, garlic, capsicums and carrots until soft.

Add meat, ground paprika, fresh tomato and fry for another couple of minutes.

Add tomato paste, salt, pepper and chopped parsley, mix well then add water or chicken stock that meat is well covered.

Bring to the boil and cook on medium heat for 15 minutes or until sauce thickens and meat is completely soft (easily detached from the bones).

Serve with some hearty bread, pasta, cooked polenta or mashed potatoes.

Note: Potatoes, mushrooms or some other seasonal vegetables can be added as well. By adding white vine into cooking stock or sour cream at the end the taste can be richer, but the sweetness of original recipe will be diminished.
