Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 3 medium carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot. Brown the chicken pieces on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, chicken broth, bay leaves, thyme, oregano, additional salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.
Return the chicken thighs to the pot, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the chicken stew for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Remove the bay leaves before serving. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.
