Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium Carrots, sliced into rounds
- 2 stalks Celery stalks, sliced
- 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 15 ounces Canned white beans (such as cannellini or great northern beans), drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 leaf Bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken thighs to the pot and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Return the seared chicken thighs to the pot and add the chicken broth.
Stir in the drained and rinsed white beans, dried oregano, dried thyme, and the bay leaf.
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid.
Simmer the stew for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Remove the chicken thighs from the pot, shred them with two forks, and return the shredded chicken to the stew.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
