  • ½ tsp pul biber
  • 1 tbsp double concentrated tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp pepper paste, biber salcasi

  2. Pour 2 tbsp olive oil in a large wide pan and stir in the marinated chicken. Sauté for about 6 minutes over medium to high, stirring often, to seal the juices of the chicken. Remove the chicken to a plate, keep the oil in the pan.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pan and stir in the onions, peppers, potato. Season with salt and pepper and sauté for 6-7 minutes over medium to high heat. Now return the chicken to the pan and combine well for a minute. Also introduce the green beans to the pan and mix well.
  4. Combine sauce ingredients in a jug, mix well for the tomato paste to dissolve. Pour over to the pan, season with salt and pepper, combine well. Cover, bring to a boil, then lower heat to simmer for 35-40 minutes, until everything is cooked and sauce thickened.
  5. Serve hot with drizzle of extra – virgin olive oil over and some rice or chunks of bread aside. Cacik dip of yoghurt and cucumber goes well with this dish too.
