Print Recipe

A hearty and comforting chicken stew packed with tender chicken, vegetables, and rich flavors perfect for a cozy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken chunks and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle flour over vegetables (if using) and stir well to coat; cook for 1 minute.
  4. Return the chicken to the pot. Add potatoes, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
  5. Bring stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour until chicken is tender and vegetables are cooked through.
  6. Remove bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy warm.

Notes

For a richer flavor, add a splash of white wine during the sautéing step or serve with crusty bread to soak up the stew.
