Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for chicken tomato stew.

Gather ingredients: 1 medium onion, 1 small onion, 1 red onion (optional), 2 habanero peppers, 1 jalapeno pepper, 3 cloves garlic, 1/4 red bell pepper, 1/4 green bell pepper, parsley, chicken wings, chicken liver, tomato paste (optional), crushed tomatoes, sea salt, and Vidalia complete seasoning.

Blend the vegetables (onions, peppers, garlic) with a little oil or water until smooth.

In a pan, add chicken wings and liver, then top with diced onions and the blended vegetable mix.

Season with Vidalia complete seasoning and about 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, then mix everything together.

Cover the pan and cook for 10-12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove the chicken and liver from the pan, reserving the liquid (chicken broth) for later use.

In a deep fryer, heat oil and fry the chicken wings and liver until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

In a separate pan, add sliced onions and cook until transparent.

Add the blended pepper mixture to the onions and cook for 5-10 minutes.

Add crushed tomatoes to the mixture and cook for an additional 20-25 minutes on medium to low heat to prevent burning.

Once the chicken is fried, place it on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

After 30 minutes of cooking the stew, scoop off excess oil and add the fried chicken back into the stew along with some reserved chicken broth.

Let the stew simmer for an additional 7-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Finish the cooking process and serve the stew with rice or other sides.
