Chicken stewed with vegetables is a classic dish of European cuisine that combines tender meat with the rich aroma of seasonal vegetables. The roots of this recipe trace back to traditional village kitchens where stewing ingredients helped retain their juiciness and reveal flavor nuances. Onions, carrots, eggplants, and sweet peppers create a harmonious blend of freshness and sweetness, while tomato paste adds a slight tang and rich color. Leaves of napa cabbage serve as a natural 'cover', helping to keep the ingredients juicy. The dish is perfect for a family dinner and pairs well with herbs and fresh bread. It is nutritious, warming, and leaves a cozy feeling of home warmth.
