Clean the chicken livers by removing any connective tissue and rinse them under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken livers to the skillet and quickly sear them on both sides until browned but not cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Stir in the diced carrots and cook for 5 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring to combine, until the tomatoes break down slightly.
Pour in the chicken stock and stir in the paprika, cumin, dried thyme, salt, ground black pepper, and bay leaf.
Return the seared chicken livers to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Garnish the stew with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with crusty bread or steamed rice.
