Hey! Today, we're making a delicious and comforting chicken stew that's perfect for those chilly days. This stew is not only hearty and satisfying, but it's also packed with flavors that will warm you from the inside out. So, let's get started!
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 onion, diced
2 celery ribs, sliced
3 large carrots, chopped into circles or half moons
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken broth
1 pound baby potatoes, halved if large
4 sprigs of thyme
2-3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
Sear the Chicken:
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs and cook until lightly browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.
Prepare the Vegetables:
In the same pot, add the diced onion, sliced celery, and chopped carrots. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Make the Roux:
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the flour is lightly browned.
Add the Liquid:
Gradually stir in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cook the Chicken and Potatoes:
Return the seared chicken to the pot. Add the baby potatoes, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves.
Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Cover and simmer for 40-45 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
Finish and Serve:
Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Optional: Add a splash of cream for extra richness.
Serve hot and enjoy with crusty bread!

That is so delicious! It really just warms you throughout. It might be the perfect thing to eat on a cold day. I hope you get a chance to make this recipe, and if you like my article, check out my comfort food playlist and add comment . Thank youfor your see!
