Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 medium carrots sliced
  • 3 medium potatoes diced
  • 2 celery stalks sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, and sliced celery to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Sprinkle in the dried thyme, dried rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
  6. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the chicken thighs. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. After 30 minutes, add the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  8. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a thicker stew, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the stew during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts if you prefer a leaner option, but thighs tend to be more tender and flavorful in stews.
