Description
Hearty Chicken Stew is a comforting and flavorful dish perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Add the carrots, potatoes, and green beans to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Return the browned chicken to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and add the thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- If you prefer a thicker stew, mix the flour with a few tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir this into the stew and cook for an additional 5 minutes until thickened.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a creamier stew, add 1/2 cup of heavy cream during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- For a spicier kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes when adding the herbs.
