Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 units boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 units celery stalks, sliced
- 2 large white potatoes, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, chopped
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 units bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
- 1 teaspoon rosemary, dried
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by trimming any excess fat from the chicken thighs and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots, celery, diced potatoes, and chopped zucchini to the pot. Stir to combine all vegetables well with the onions and garlic.
Return the chicken to the pot. Add the chicken broth, bay leaves, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together, ensuring the chicken and vegetables are well submerged in the broth.
Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
Before serving, taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Remove the bay leaves from the pot.
Garnish the stew with fresh chopped parsley right before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 Hearty Chicken Stew warm!
