This comforting Balkan Chicken Stew, known as Piletina sa Povrćem, features tender chicken pieces simmered in a flavorful tomato-based broth with a colorful array of vegetables. The chicken is first browned to develop a rich flavor, then slowly cooked with onions, carrots, bell peppers, and tomatoes until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender. This hearty and nourishing stew is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a satisfying meal on a chilly day.

Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Brown chicken

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

2
Chop vegetables

While the chicken is browning, peel and chop the onions and carrots. Remove the seeds and stems from the bell peppers and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Cut the tomatoes into chunks. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

3
Sauté vegetables

In the same pot, add the chopped onions, carrots, and bell peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften.

4
Add tomatoes and seasonings

Add the chopped tomatoes, minced garlic, tomato paste, paprika, dried thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.

5
Return chicken to pot

Return the browned chicken thighs to the pot, nestling them among the vegetables.

6
Add broth and simmer

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for 1 hour or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

7
Remove bay leaves

Remove the bay leaves from the stew and discard them.

8
Serve

Serve the Balkan Chicken Stew hot, accompanied by crusty bread or over rice or pasta.
