Instructions
- Place the onions, peppers and olive oil in a wide pan (must have a lid – a large lidded frying pan, sauté pan or wide cast iron pot would be perfect). Cover with the lid and cook over a medium heat for 3 minutes until the onions and peppers have softened, stirring occasionally.
- Turn down the heat and add the garlic, chilli and paprika. Gently fry for 1 more minute with the lid off, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chicken thighs, tomatoes, chicken stock, bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper. Turn the heat right up and bring to the boil.
- Turn the heat back down low, cover with the lid and simmer for 10 minutes.
- After the 10 minutes is up, remove the lid and add the black olives and cannellini beans. Simmer with the lid off for a further 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the stew doesn’t stick. If it starts to stick add a splash more water.
- Serve the stew scattered with chopped fresh parsley and with either rice, mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
