Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch chunks
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium sweet onion, diced
- 3 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 ribs celery, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 2 ½ cups chicken stock
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 pound red potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- In a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat, heat the olive oil. In batches, add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned (about 6-8 minutes). Set aside.
- Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the minced garlic and stir until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Whisk in the flour and tomato paste, cooking until lightly browned (about 1 minute).
- Pour in the wine, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add the chicken stock, thyme, bay leaves, and chicken back to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is very tender (about 20 minutes).
- Stir in the potatoes and simmer until they are just tender and the stew has thickened (about 15 minutes). Discard the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Stir in parsley and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
You can use chicken breasts instead of thighs for a lighter version.
Add additional vegetables like peas or green beans for extra nutrition.
This stew can be made in a slow cooker by following the same steps and then cooking on low for 6-8 hours.
