Chicken Stew Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 3 celery ribs, chopped
• 2 potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup frozen peas

Instructions

1. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
3. Add onion and garlic to the pot and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until onions become translucent.
4. Add carrots, celery, potatoes, chicken broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and water until smooth. Add to the pot and stir until well combined. Let simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the stew has thickened.
6. Stir in frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Once peas are cooked through, add the chicken back into the pot and let simmer for an additional 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot.
