Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 4 medium golden potatoes
- 3 medium carrots
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 3 large garlic cloves
Instructions
1. Prepare the ingredients: Dice the onion, peel and slice the carrots into 1/2-inch rounds, and cut the potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Mince the garlic cloves.
2. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil (optional) and sear the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
3. In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant.
4. Add the carrots and potatoes to the pot. Stir well to coat them in the onion and garlic mixture.
5. Return the chicken thighs to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
7. Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the pot. Stir well to combine.
8. Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot and enjoy!
