Main ingredient: chicken
Pairs well with: roasted potatoes, rice pilaf, green beans, caesar salad, garlic bread
Ingredients
- 1 yellow onion, diced small (about 2 cups)
- 3 celery ribs, diced small (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 tbsp)
- 8 oz carrots, thinly sliced (about 3 carrots)
- 28¼ oz boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 in pieces
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 24 oz baby potatoes, halved
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 tsp dried sage
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, to serve (optional)
Method
- Toss the chicken pieces with 2 tbsp of the flour and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken in batches for 3-4 minutes, then set aside (it will finish cooking in the stew).
- Add the onion and celery to the pot and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Add the carrots and garlic and cook for 2 minutes more.
- Sprinkle in the remaining 2 tbsp flour and stir for 1 minute. Gradually pour in both broths, stirring to keep the stew smooth, and bring to a simmer.
- Add the potatoes, dried parsley, thyme, rosemary, sage, salt and pepper. Return the chicken and any juices to the pot.
- Cover and simmer gently for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, scatter with fresh parsley if using, and serve hot.
