Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium Carrots, sliced
- 2 Celery stalks, sliced
- 2 medium Potatoes, diced
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
- 1 cup Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1 cup Frozen peas

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Season the diced chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the pot. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and celery. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return the chicken to the pot, and add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, bay leaf, and thyme.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the coconut milk and frozen peas. Simmer uncovered for another 5-10 minutes, allowing the stew to thicken slightly.
Remove the bay leaf, adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
