Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a pot and sear the chicken for 8 minutes, until colored on both sides.
Transfer the chicken to a plate, then soften the onion and peppers in the same pot for 10 minutes.
Add the garlic, bay leaf, and piment d'Espelette or paprika, and stir for 1 minute.
Add the tomato puree and chicken broth to the pot.
Return the chicken to the sauce, cover, and cook for 35 minutes.
Uncover and reduce the sauce for 8 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf and serve the dish hot.
💡 Tip: Softening the peppers for 10 minutes makes the sauce sweet and deep instead of sharp.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with steamed rice, boiled potatoes, or toasted bread.
