Hearty Montenegrin Pan-Fried Chicken Kebabs

Assemble the ingredients: chicken, bell pepper, olive oil, stock, garlic, bay leaf, tomato.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the chicken and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Montenegrin flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Montenegrin accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
