Cut the chicken up.

Finely chop the onions and soften them in 3-4 tbsp of heated olive oil until soft and sweet, not brown.

Take the pot off the heat and stir 3 tbsp Paprika into the onion mixture.

Drop the chicken pieces into the pot and stir together.

Add the tomato, green pepper, garlic, chilies and season with salt and pepper.

Pour over some water (do not need to cover the meat), stir, cover and cook for at least 1 hour.

Remove the lid and continue cooking to reduce the sauce, letting most of the water evaporate.

If the meat starts to overcook and the sauce is not thick enough, remove the meat from the pot and let the sauce reduce.
