Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 3 medium carrots
- 3 stalks celery stalks
- 4 medium red potatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Instructions
Chop the onion, mince the garlic, peel and slice the carrots, chop the celery stalks, and quarter the potatoes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, season with salt and pepper, and brown on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Stir occasionally and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary. Stir to combine.
Return the chicken thighs to the pot. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks, and return it to the pot.
Add the peas to the stew, and let it continue to simmer for another 10 minutes.
Remove the bay leaves, adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary, and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
