Village New Zealand Roasted Chicken Flatbread

Assemble the ingredients: chicken, chili, potato, garlic, bay leaf, stock, water.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the chicken and cook until roasted.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of New Zealand 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 New Zealand accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
