Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, then add to the pot. Sear the chicken for 5 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.

Discard the bay leaf, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary, and serve warm.
