Cut up the bell pepper and onion.

Season the chicken back and wings with black pepper, green herbs, canor chicken seasoning, and browning sauce; mix well without measuring.

Let the chicken marinate for about 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Heat oil in a large pot and fry the marinated chicken until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

In the same pot, add onion and bell pepper; sauté until soft.

Add sliced carrots, cutting them on a slant, and plum tomatoes to the pot; stir to combine.

Add the remaining chicken seasoning and black pepper; mix well.

Pour in a little water and bring to a boil.

Return the browned chicken to the pot; let it simmer until cooked through.

Add ketchup to the pot for flavor; adjust to taste.

Prepare a separate pot with salted water for boiling dumplings; cover and bring to a boil.

Make the dumpling dough by mixing flour with water until a soft dough forms.

Shape the dumplings neatly and drop them into the boiling water.

Cover the pot and cook the dumplings until they float and are cooked through.
