Description

This hearty Chicken Stew is a comforting dish packed with tender chicken, vegetables, and savory herbs simmered in a flavorful broth. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into chunks
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced
  • 3 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, sauté onion and garlic until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Return chicken to the pot. Add thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30–35 minutes, or until chicken and vegetables are tender.
  6. If a thicker stew is desired, whisk flour with 1/4 cup cold water and stir into stew. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
  7. Add peas and cook for 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Remove bay leaf, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker version.
  • Feel free to add other veggies like corn or green beans.
  • Leftovers taste even better the next day.
