I always loved when my mom would make this Serbian Pileći paprikaš braised chicken growing up. I’m happy to share my version with you with simple pantry ingredients and a delicious whole chicken. Ingredients:

1/4 cup olive oil + 2 tbsp
1, 2.5kg ferme reveuse chicken, cut into 8
salt and black pepper to taste
1 & 1/2 lbs onions, peeled and sliced
5 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 tbsp paprika
1 cup passata
1 cup chicken stock
2 bay leaves
