Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and celery. Cook for another 3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are browned.
Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
Return the chicken to the pot. Add the thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Cover and let the stew simmer for 20 minutes on low heat.
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with water to create a slurry. Slowly stir the slurry into the simmering stew to thicken.
Remove the bay leaf. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
