Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts (pierś z kurczaka)
- 2 stalks of celery (seler naciowy), chopped
- 1 large onion (cebula), diced
- 1 red bell pepper (papryka czerwona), chopped
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (puszka pomidorów krojonych)
- Salt (sól), to taste
- Pepper (pieprz), to taste
- Your choice of spices (przyprawy), such as garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and your choice of spices.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and chopped celery. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the pot. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
- Incorporate the Bell Pepper: Stir in the chopped red bell pepper and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Add Tomatoes: Pour in the can of diced tomatoes (with their juice) and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The chicken should be cooked through, and the flavors will meld beautifully.
- Taste and Adjust: Before serving, taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or spices as desired.
- Serve: Ladle the stew into bowls and enjoy with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
