step by step

Method

  1. Prepare the vegetables

    • Dice the bell peppers and the onion.
    • Set the vegetables aside.
    Step 1

  2. Season the chicken

    • Place the cleaned chicken thighs in a bowl.
    • Add the oil, garlic, smoked paprika, Cajun seasoning and black pepper.
    • Mix until every piece is well coated in seasoning.
    Step 2

  3. Sear the chicken

    • Heat oil in a deep frying pan.
    • Sear the chicken on both sides until golden.
    • Remove the chicken and set it aside with its juices; it does not need to be fully cooked.
    Step 3

  4. Cook down the vegetables

    • Add the vegetables to the same pan and cook down for a while.
    • Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
    • Whenever burnt bits form, pour in a little water, stir and repeat until the vegetables are very soft and mushy.
    Step 4

  5. Return the chicken and build the gravy

    • Add the chicken and its juices back to the pan.
    • Cover with water up to the top of the chicken.
    • Boil until the water has almost evaporated, then add more water, scrape up the burnt bits and repeat three to four times until a dark gravy forms.
    Step 5

  6. Shred the chicken

    • As the chicken cooks, mash and break it up with a spatula.
    • Let it keep falling apart until fully shredded.
    Step 6

  7. Final simmer

    • Add a little more water for the last round.
    • Season again with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
    • Simmer on medium-low until the gravy reaches the desired consistency.
    Step 7

  8. Serve

    • Serve the chicken and gravy over chunky mashed potatoes or rice, with the vegetables on the side.
