Instructions

Wash and pat dry the 600 grams of chicken pieces. Heat 20 ml of sunflower oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces and brown on all sides for 8-10 minutes total, turning occasionally.
Add the peeled, diced onion to the skillet and cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent.
Transfer the chicken and onion to a heavy-bottomed pot. Add 250-300 ml of water, season with salt and black pepper to taste, and cover with a lid.
Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and simmer covered for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 74°C / 165°F).
Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Continue heating on low for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in the minced garlic clove, garnish with chopped parsley and dill, and serve.

Bon appetit!
