This is my mother’s recipe.  She was born in Keshinci, Yugoslavia (Croatia).  She made it for her family in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; now I cook it for my kids and grandkids in Arkansas.

• 1 chicken cut into pieces
• 3 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
• 3 medium or 2 large onions, diced
• 1 large tomato, diced
• 1 large red or yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1 small hot chili pepper
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons mild Paprika
• 3 to 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges

In a soup kettle or Dutch oven sauté onions in hot oil until lightly browned.  Add paprika, tomato, peppers, and spices.  Cook for 1 minute.  Add chicken pieces and place potato wedges on top of chicken.  Add just enough water to cover potatoes.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook for 45 minutes or until chicken is done.  Serve over home-style noodles or knodel.
