Coat the chicken in the salt, pepper, paprika & oregano & place skin side up in a baking tray
Brown under a grill for 20’ or until browned & crispy
Brown the onions in the olive oil, when golden, add the tomato, tomato paste, water, carrot & potatoes
Bring to the boil & reduce to simmer
Add the chicken pieces and deglaze the pan with some water adding this to the pot (valuable flavour here)
Cover & allow to cook
When the chicken is ¾ cooked add the peas & artichoke
Season to taste adding a pinch of sugar
Allow to simmer until chicken is cooked & the sauce is rich & thick

*I often get asked what my favourite food is which is a very difficult question to answer… but this dish is certainly my favourite! When my mother drops off a pot of this stew for me, it is quite possibly one of the best gifts i could receive! I love a pet of food that has everything in it, uncomplicated, hearty and communal.
