Units
Scale
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into chunks
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 celery stalks, sliced
- 3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add onion and garlic. Cook until fragrant and softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add carrots, celery, and potatoes. Stir in thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Return chicken to the pot and pour in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.
- Simmer for 30โ40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
- If a thicker stew is desired, mix flour with a little water and stir into the stew. Simmer an additional 5 minutes until thickened.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- You can add green peas or corn during the last 10 minutes of cooking for extra flavor and color.
- Using chicken thighs adds more flavor and tenderness compared to chicken breasts.
- This stew stores well and tastes even better the next day.
