Preparation

Step 1

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a medium pot over medium high heat. Season chicken with salt, add to pot and cook turning once, until browned, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Reduce heat to low and let oil cool for 1 minute, add garlic and cook, stirring often until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Add cumin, tomato paste, and red pepper flakes, stir until a smooth paste forms, about 1 minute.
Add reserved chicken with any accumulated juices, along with bay leaves, and 4 cups water. Scrape up any browned bits. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and simmer uncovered, occasionally stirring, until chicken is tender, about 20 minutes.
Transfer chicken to a plate. Add chickpeas to pot, bring to a simmer and cook to 5 minutes. Shred chicken, add to stew. Add red peppers. Stir in remaining 2 tbsp oil and 2 tbsp lemon juice, simmer for 1 minute. Season with salt and more lemon juice if desired. Divide bread cubes among bowls. Ladle soup over. Garnish with parsley.
