Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 celery stalks, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium white sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the pot, season with a bit of salt and pepper, and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Once browned, remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are beginning to soften.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced sweet potato and return the browned chicken pieces to the pot.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaf, remaining salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Once the sweet potatoes are tender, stir in the coconut milk and let it heat through for 5 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf, then taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Whole30 Cream Stew!
