Servings: 4 | Preparation time: 15 minutes | Cooking time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into large chunks
- 4 chicken thighs, skinless and boneless, cut into smaller pieces
- 3 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Cool Runnings Cayenne Pepper
- 2 tbsp Cool Runnings Paprika
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ cup chicken broth


Directions
1. Cut the tomatoes in half and scoop out the seeds and liquid. Dice the tomato flesh into small, even pieces and set aside.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in batches and brown on both sides. Once browned, remove and set aside.
3. In the same pan with the remaining oil and drippings, lower the heat to medium and sauté the chopped onion with a small pinch of salt until soft and translucent.
4. Add the minced garlic and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they begin to soften and break down.
6. Return the browned chicken to the pan. Sprinkle in Cool Runnings Cayenne Pepper, Cool Runnings Paprika, remaining salt, and pour in the chicken broth. Stir well and arrange the chicken in an even layer.
7. Cover and simmer on medium-low heat for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
8. Uncover and simmer for another 10 minutes, or until the sauce reduces by half. Add a splash of broth if it becomes too dry.
9. Taste and adjust seasoning with more Cool Runnings Cayenne Pepper, Cool Runnings Paprika, or salt as needed.
10. Serve hot with rice, bread, or your favourite side.
