Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 12 ounces smoked sausage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 4 small red potatoes, diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and slice the smoked sausage into 1/2-inch rounds.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the sausage and set it aside with the chicken.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced red potatoes to the pot and stir. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Stir in the tomato paste, bay leaves, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Return the browned chicken and sausage to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot partially with a lid. Let the stew simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
Remove the bay leaves and check the seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper to taste if needed.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
