Cut the chicken into 2 cm cubes, season with salt and black pepper, and sear in olive oil over high heat in a pot for 6 minutes.
Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 4 minutes until lightly browned; add the crushed garlic and tomato paste and fry for 1 minute.
Add the chopped carrot, potatoes, and peas, then stir for 2 minutes.
Add the hot water, close the lid, and cook over low heat for 25-30 minutes until the vegetables soften.
Sprinkle in the optional dried mint just before removing from the heat; rest for 5 minutes and serve.
💡 Tip: Sear the chicken first so it cooks without falling apart after the vegetables are added. Cut the potatoes to the same 1.5-2 cm size as the vegetables for even cooking.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with bulgur pilaf or rice pilaf, pickles, and cacik.
