Brown all the vegetables and chicken, add a can of soft white beans and all the spices, and in no time you’ll have a wonderful stew full of goodness.
Needless to say, it's pretty much a must to serve this whole thing with white rice, but a good mashed potato that can soak up all the sauce will also be a perfect side.
