Instructions
1
- Chop the potatoes into 1cm chunks (peeling optional).

- Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
2
- Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

- Season with oregano, paprika, salt and pepper then cook for 1 min more.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh. It will still taste delicious once cooked!
