Preparation
Carve the chicken, add salt and pepper. Cube the pepper and the eggplant. Make a cross incision on the tomatoes on the bottom and briefly dip them in boiling water. Peel the skin off the tomatoes, remove the seeds and cut roughly.
Fry the chicken on both sides on heated olive oil and then remove onto a plate. Use the same grease to fry the cubed pepper and eggplants. Return the chicken and continue to stew with adding water.
After about 30 minutes, add tomatoes and stir for another 20 minutes until the chicken is done. Near the end of cooking add olives and finely chopped basil.
