Ingredients:
Instructions:

- Peel and finely chop the onion.
- Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks.
- Heat a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat.
- Apply a short spray of cooking spray oil to the pot.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the sliced red peppers and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the paprika and cook for about 1 minute to release its flavor.
- Add the browned chicken back into the pot.
- Pour in the canned tomatoes (including their juice) and half a cup of water.
- Stir in the honey.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
- Cover the pot and let it cook for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Taste the hotpot and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve the Chicken and Capsicum Hotpot hot. It pairs well with rice, potatoes, or crusty bread.
Tips:
- Make sure to cut the chicken breasts into even pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, consider adding a chopped jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- For a richer flavor, you can use chicken broth instead of water.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms to enhance the nutritional value and flavor complexity.
- Let the hotpot simmer for a bit longer if you want a thicker consistency.
In just a few simple steps, you can create a delicious, nutritious Chicken and Capsicum Hotpot that is sure to please everyone at the table.
