Method
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and softened.
- Toss in the chicken, cut into bite-size cubes, and brown it on all sides.
- Add the carrot rounds and diced potatoes, stirring briefly to coat them in the oil. Then stir in the peas.
- Pour in enough water or low-sodium chicken broth to just cover the ingredients. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and the tomato concentrate.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Finish with a generous sprinkle of chopped parsley and dill just before serving.
