Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can become bitter.

  3. Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften.

  4. Sprinkle the paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper over the vegetables, giving everything a good mix to combine the flavors.

  5. Add the chopped cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring well to coat the chicken with the seasoning.

  6. Pour in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  7. Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.

  8. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed with more salt and pepper.

  9. Once the dish is cooked to your liking and the flavors have developed, remove the skillet from the heat.

  10. Serve the Chopped Cooked Chicken hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
