Add chicken to the pot, browning on all sides for about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in water and bring to a boil; skim off any foam that rises to the surface.

Add potatoes, thyme, bay leaves, and black pepper; reduce heat to low and simmer for 30-40 minutes.

Remove chicken, shred the meat, and discard bones and skin.

Return shredded chicken to the pot; add lemon juice and chopped parsley.

Simmer for an additional 10 minutes to meld flavors.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley and chili peppers if desired.
