  1. Pour a drizzle of olive oil into a wide, shallow casserole dish and add the chopped vegetable mixture.
  2. Sweat the vegetables gently over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the chicken pieces and potatoes to the pan.
  4. Brown them evenly over medium heat, turning to sear well on all sides.
  5. Remove the potatoes from the pan and set them aside.
  6. Deglaze the pan with the white wine.
  7. Once the wine has evaporated, add the tomato purée.
  8. Add the black olives and season with salt.
  9. Pour in approximately one glass (about 1 cup) of warm chicken broth.
  10. Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes.
  11. Return the reserved potatoes to the pan, cover, and continue simmering over low heat for another 30 minutes.
  12. After this time, check that the chicken is fully cooked through; remove the lid and let the sauce reduce slightly.
  13. Transfer the stewed chicken to serving plates, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
