Chicken with tomato bredie

Chicken with tomato bredie is a delicious South African dish that combines tender chicken pieces with a rich tomato-based stew. Bredie refers to a traditional Cape Malay slow-cooked stew, typically made with meat, vegetables, and spices. In this case, the chicken is simmered with tomatoes, onions, garlic, and a blend of aromatic spices like cinnamon, cloves, and bay leaves. The result is a hearty and flavorful dish that pairs well with rice or bread.

Instructions

Heat the cooking oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chicken pieces and brown them on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until they become soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, dried thyme, cinnamon stick, and bay leaves to the pot. Stir well to coat the onions and garlic with the spices.
Return the browned chicken pieces to the pot, along with any accumulated juices.
Add the diced tomatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Stir everything together.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover the pot and simmer on low heat for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaves.
Serve the Chicken with Tomato Bredie hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.
