Place the chicken in a large pot and cover it with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. As it starts to boil, skim off any foam that forms on the surface with a spoon.

Once the foam is removed, add the carrots, parsnips, onions, bell peppers, bay leaves, and celery. Season with black pepper and additional salt if needed.

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer gently for about 45 minutes. This allows the chicken to cook through and the flavors to develop.

Add the cubed potatoes and the delikat seasoning. Continue cooking for another 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Garnish with fresh parsley.
