Print Recipe

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

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. Add chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for another 2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  4. Slowly pour in chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
  5. Return chicken to the pot. Add potatoes, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 40 minutes or until chicken and vegetables are tender.
  7. Add frozen peas and cook for another 5 minutes.
  8. Remove bay leaf. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes

For extra richness, stir in a splash of cream before serving or serve with crusty bread to soak up the stew.
