    2 lb boneless, skinless chicken, 4 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper
  2. Add a bit more oil and add mushrooms and saute until they start to brown and be cooked. Add the red and green peppers and saute until they start to soften, 5 minutes or so.

  3. Add the tomato paste and cook for a minute or two. Add tomatoes. Then add the chicken, oregano, Aleppo pepper, and paprika. Add chicken base and just enough water to let all steam together.
