Dice the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Set them aside.
Peel and chop the onion, carrots, and celery stalks into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves. Wipe the mushrooms clean and slice them. Peel and dice the potatoes.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces in batches and brown on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the onions. Sauté for about 3 minutes until they start to become translucent.
Add the carrots, celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, around 5 minutes.
Return the browned chicken to the pot. Add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, bay leaf, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Stir everything together and bring the stew to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors are well combined.
Remove the bay leaf. Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the stew before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your hearty and delicious Soy-Free Chicken and Mushroom Stew!
