Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 50 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 5 minutes
Number of servings: 4-6

Ingredients:

- 1.5 kg white potatoes
- 1 onion
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 chicken breast (about 400-500 g)
- 2 carrots
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
- 150 ml tomato juice or homemade broth
- Oil (for frying)
- Salt, pepper, vegeta (to taste)
- A handful of fresh parsley
- A handful of fresh dill

Step by step:

1. Preparing the vegetables: Start by peeling the onion and bell peppers. Cut the onion into large pieces and the peppers in half, removing the seeds. Put them in a food processor and chop finely. This step will give an intense flavor to your stew.

2. Carrots: Peel the carrots and cut them into rounds. They will add a sweet note and vibrant color to the dish.

3. Heating the oil: In a cauldron, add a little oil and heat it over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the vegetable mixture (onion and peppers) and the carrot rounds. Add a little water to prevent the vegetables from sticking. Let them sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Preparing the chicken breast: Meanwhile, cut the chicken breast into uniform-sized cubes. They will cook evenly and quickly. Add the chicken cubes to the cauldron over the vegetables, covering with water. Let everything boil for 15 minutes over medium heat.

5. Adding the potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. Once the chicken breast is almost cooked, add the potatoes to the cauldron. Now, let the stew boil for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes become soft.

6. Seasoning: After the potatoes are cooked, add salt, pepper, vegeta, sweet paprika, and tomato broth. These spices will give a special taste to your stew. Mix well to ensure the flavors blend perfectly.

7. Finishing the dish: When the stew is ready, turn off the heat and finely chop the parsley and dill. Sprinkle the herbs over the stew for an extra touch of freshness and flavor.

8. Serving: Serve the potato stew with chicken breast warm, alongside pickles for a perfect contrast of flavors. This combination will add extra flavor and turn the meal into an unforgettable culinary experience.

Useful tips:
- You can vary the vegetables used in the stew by adding celery or zucchini, depending on your preferences.
- If you want a spicier stew, add a little chopped hot pepper.
- For a more intense flavor, you can use homemade tomato broth or natural tomato juice.
